Palma blocks parking spaces for tourists – what's behind it and who pays the price?

Answer

What does converting ORA spaces to residents-only parking mean for visitors in Palma?

It shifts most in-centre spaces from shared use to residents-only, reducing spots available to visitors (from 1,247 shared spaces to 220 in the affected areas) and potentially increasing the time people spend looking for parking. The change is part of broader steps on Mallorca to manage urban space.
