Answer

Is it normal for a pilot to abort a landing in Palma during gusty weather?

Yes. In Palma, as in any airport, pilots will abort a landing if the approach is not stable or the wind makes it unsafe. An aborted landing is a precaution, not a failure, and it is usually the right choice when conditions are difficult.
