When the Clouds Come: Palma's Old Town Between Gain and Limits

Answer

Why do Palma's old town streets get so crowded when the weather changes?

When beach weather weakens, many visitors leave the seafront and move into Palma’s historic center. That shift can happen quickly, which is why streets like Carrer Sant Miquel and areas around Plaça Major often feel much busier on cloudy days. It is a normal pattern, but it can create pressure on narrow streets, parking and local services.
