Despite Renovation: Why Palma’s Paseo Marítimo Remains Empty — A Reality Check

Answer

Why is Palma’s Paseo Marítimo still quiet after the renovation?

A renovated promenade does not automatically bring people back. On Palma’s Paseo Marítimo, the main obstacles are still practical: difficult evening access, high operating costs, and the fact that many visitors now go elsewhere for nightlife. Businesses also need time and new reasons for people to build old habits again.
