Why Palma's Paseo Marítimo Is Getting Emptier — and What the City Needs to Do Now

Answer

Why are some bars and restaurants on Palma’s Paseo Marítimo closing?

Local operators point to falling customer numbers, rising rents and in some cases insolvency. After the long construction period, some businesses struggled to recover enough turnover to cover higher fixed costs. The result is that a few venues have closed, while others have had to change direction or move elsewhere.
