Paseo Marítimo: Who is responsible for Palma's long-running crisis?

Answer

Why is Palma's Paseo Marítimo still such a controversial area?

The dispute is mainly about how the promenade should work as a city space during the day and at night. Some residents blame noise, late-night activity and the current mix of venues, while some business owners say the redesign reduced parking and hurt trade. A lasting solution will likely depend on proper data, not just competing complaints.
