Fresh breeze, but is it enough? What Palma's bus station really needs
Why Palma’s bus station still feels harsh in summer
Palma’s bus station gets some relief from fans, but shade and better climate design are still missing.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why is Palma's bus station still so uncomfortable in summer?
The main issue is that the station relies on limited cooling measures while the surrounding heat, asphalt and busy traffic make the space feel even hotter. There is still a lack of permanent shade, well-planned ventilation and quieter waiting areas. That is why the station can feel functional but not especially pleasant on very hot days.
