A City Breathes Differently: Palma and Marratxí Test Car-Free Hours

Answer

What happens during car-free days in Palma during European Mobility Week?

Palma is testing a quieter city centre with small car-free experiments and one larger day without private cars in the old town. During the week, some parking spaces are temporarily turned into small public areas, and on the main car-free day public transport is used more heavily instead. It is meant to show how the city feels when more space is given to people on foot, by bike, or on the bus.
