Answer
What is changing with the gastronomy concessions on Palma's harborfront?
Eight bars and restaurants on Palma's harborfront are being re-tendered, and the port authority wants all contracts awarded by next year. The plan is to renew the venues and increase annual revenue, while some areas still have no applicants. The process matters because it will shape not just the look of the waterfront, but also who can operate there and under what conditions.
