Answer
Who decides how Palma's public squares, like Passeig del Born, can be used in the evenings?
City authorities try to balance terrace dining with gatherings, but decisions often come as short-term orders that can change with little notice. This creates uncertainty for restaurateurs and residents alike. A clearer, longer-term framework is needed to ensure fair access to shared space.
