Answer

Who is responsible for cleaning the sand at Playa de Palma?

Responsibility is shared, which is part of the problem. Palma's city authorities, island-level institutions and tourism-related bodies all have a role, but the article points out that the division of tasks is still unclear in practice. For residents and businesses, that often means daily sweeping and ad hoc clean-ups while a more permanent solution is still being discussed.
