El Born was the neighbors' tonight. Hundreds of Palma residents have conquered the promenade with lunchboxes, trempó, bread with oil, and a desire to share a table at the last Wednesday at the Llesca of the summer, a neighborhood gathering promoted by Brunzzit that has turned one of the most emblematic and touristy spaces in the city into a large outdoor dinner for a few hours. The meeting was preceded by the controversial decision of the National Police to order restaurants in El Born to remove their terraces during the event, fearing that the concentration could lead to acts of "sabotage" or "direct confrontation" with the establishments, according to the information conveyed to the restaurateurs. Hours later, however, what filled the promenade were families, young people, children, and the elderly eating together and claiming the neighborhood use of public space.

The Brunzit collective, the L'Elèctrica and La Fonera Ateneus, and the Canamunt neighborhood association have called for a protest gathering this Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Plaça de Cort to protest against Palma City Council's decision not to authorize the 'Sopar a la Llesca' (Dinner on the Slice) planned for this space as part of the Canamunt 2026 Festival program. The call comes after the controversy generated by the denial of the permit and the criticism from the organizing entities regarding municipal management.

More than 200 Palma residents gathered last Wednesday in the iconic Plaça d'en Coll to play tricks and dine together outdoors. The event, organized by the Canamunt residents' association and the Brunzit platform, began around 7:00 p.m. with a round of tricks, in which those familiar with the rules of the card game explained them to those who didn't.
