Harborfront in Palma: Who benefits from the new gastronomy concessions?

Answer
Will the new harborfront venues in Palma keep local character?
That will depend on the tender conditions and on who is chosen to run the venues. If the city encourages local producers, seasonal menus and operators who understand the harbor’s everyday use, the area is more likely to keep its character. If the focus is mainly on rent and profit, the waterfront could become more uniform.
