S-71 "Galerna" in Portopí: Routine visit or signal? A reality check for Palma

Answer

Is it normal to see a submarine docked in Portopí, Palma?

Yes, a submarine stop in Portopí can be part of ordinary naval activity. The S-71 Galerna was in Palma after maneuvers and using port facilities, which is consistent with routine logistics and crew rest. A visible military vessel often attracts attention, but it does not automatically signal a crisis.
