Answer

What does the winter slowdown mean for Palma’s old town?

In Palma’s old town, the winter slowdown is often easy to notice: quieter streets, earlier closing times and fewer spontaneous evening plans. Some cafés and shops still trade steadily, but many adjust their opening hours to match lower demand and rising running costs. The area remains active, just with a more subdued pace than in high season.
