Answer

What happened at Plaza de los Patines market during the Palma storm?

The organic market at Plaza de los Patines was cancelled because the storm made outdoor trading unsafe and visitor numbers were expected to drop sharply. For traders, that meant a sudden loss of income and possible waste from goods already prepared. Situations like this show how vulnerable market days in Palma can be when severe weather arrives.
