Why Palma's Paseo Marítimo Is Getting Emptier — and What the City Needs to Do Now

Answer

Why does Palma’s Paseo Marítimo feel quieter at night now?

The promenade has been visually improved, but local businesses say the evening atmosphere has weakened because fewer people are staying there. Higher rents on new leases and the loss of parking during construction have made it harder for bars and restaurants to keep regular trade. Many visitors now head to areas that are easier to reach or cheaper to run a business in.
