When the Village Square Is No Longer Safe: Drugs in the Center of Artà

Answer

Are market days in Artà more difficult to monitor than quiet days?

Yes, busier days can make it easier for unwanted activity to hide in normal movement and noise. In Artà, the market brings tourists, locals and shoppers into the centre, which creates more opportunities for discreet contact. That is why some residents want stronger presence at those times, not only during late-night hours.
