Palma coastal path ages without trees: residents demand clarification

Answer

Does removing trees along Palma’s seafront make the promenade hotter in summer?

Yes, fewer trees usually mean less shade and more heat on the ground and benches. In Palma, that can make a coastal walk feel noticeably harsher in the warmer months, especially on exposed paths like Es Portitxol. Trees also help cool the area slightly through moisture and provide a better setting for everyday use.
