'Noise is torture'. With this forceful slogan, various neighborhood associations in Palma have intensified their protest against the noise pollution that, they claim, neighborhoods like Santa Catalina, El Jonquet, the Paseo Marítimo, and the sa Llotja-Born area have suffered for years due to uncontrolled nightlife.

Watermelon remains, furniture, clothing, cardboard boxes, and all kinds of waste frequently pile up outside overflowing containers in several Palma neighborhoods. The situation creates an image of urban neglect and has become one of the main complaints from residents, along with noise. "You go for a walk and find a whole heap of trash devouring the containers," laments a resident of the Paseo Marítim.
