Answer

Why are parks and promenades sometimes closed in Palma during storms?

Parks and promenades in Palma may be closed when strong wind, falling branches or rough seas create a safety risk. Tree-lined areas and open waterfront spaces can become dangerous quickly, especially if there is damage or debris on the ground. Closures are usually temporary and are meant to reduce the risk of accidents.
