Street Vendors at Playa de Palma: Why the Problem Keeps Returning

Street vending at Playa de Palma has become a recurring problem because it sits at the intersection of tourism, informal work and enforcement. During the busy season, the promenade is crowded and there is more pressure on both vendors and police, which can lead to conflict. Many sellers are believed to be operating in precarious circumstances, so the issue is not only about illegal goods but also about social and economic conditions.
