More funding for horse racecourses: sensible investment or questionable priority?

Answer

Will the racecourses in Mallorca be used for anything besides race days?

That is one of the open questions around the funding. Some observers want Palma and Manacor to be used more often for community activities such as open days, sports programmes, markets or cultural events. Without a broader usage plan, the public value of the investment may stay limited.
