Balearic Islands Want Permanent Summer Time: What That Really Means for Mallorca

Answer

What does permanent summer time mean for evening life in Palma?

In Palma, longer light in the evening would likely support the Passeig del Born, the Paseo Marítimo and other places where people sit outside after dinner. Cafés, bars and cultural events often work better when daylight lasts longer, because visitors naturally stay out later. The atmosphere would feel more like an extended summer evening, even in months when the sun usually sets earlier.
