Answer

How does the transit center at Palma port work for arriving migrants?

The transit center at Palma's ferry port is designed for very short stays, usually around 24 to 48 hours, before people continue to the Spanish mainland by ferry. It is meant as a temporary stopping point, not a long-term shelter. Its role depends heavily on transport running smoothly and onward reception being available.
