Answer

What happens to drivers near Parc de la Mar when the Paseo Marítimo is closed?

Traffic around Parc de la Mar can become complicated when the Paseo Marítimo is closed for an event, because drivers may be redirected into nearby streets with different access rules. In Palma, that can lead to confusion if the diversion crosses into a restricted zone. Drivers should follow instructions, but they may later need proof that the route was directed by police.
