Palma cancels Sant Sebastià celebrations — how does a city respond in mourning?

Answer

Can people still visit Palma city centre during the Sant Sebastià mourning period?

Yes, the city centre remains open, but the atmosphere changes when major celebrations are cancelled. Around places like Passeig del Born and Plaça Major, daily life continues with shops, cafés and school runs, even if the usual festive mood is absent. Visitors should expect a quieter city and check for any temporary changes before heading out.
