PalmPalma City Council reopened the seafront promenade and the municipal parks of Bellver, La Ribera, and Can Terrers this Sunday, after they were closed as a precaution due to the strong winds recorded in recent hours. The measure was taken after the local emergency plan, PLATERBAL, was deactivated. The closures were carried out following safety protocols for weather-related emergencies, with the aim of ensuring public safety. During the storm, there were some isolated incidents, such as a palm tree falling on the seafront promenade near Es Baluard, which landed on the road and has already been removed by municipal services. The City Council confirmed that, after inspecting the affected areas, access to the parks has been restored to normal.
