The President of the Government, Marga Prohens, has taken advantage of the meeting with the Spanish President, Pedro Sánchez, to place the debate on the limits of the tourism model at the center of the Balearic agenda. The meeting comes after the historic demonstration against tourist overcrowding held in Palma, a mobilization that organizers estimated at 70,000 people, and which has reinforced the discussion on the Balearic Islands' capacity to cope with the current volume of visitors. After the meeting, Prohens defended that the policies promoted by her Executive respond to the demands expressed in the streets. "The policies that this Government is promoting are precisely in line with what is being asked for," she stated.

The Almudaina Palace will reopen this Wednesday, July 29, after a comprehensive renovation of 2.57 million euros that transforms the visit to the monument and incorporates spaces that were previously closed to the public. To inaugurate the new route, admission will be free for three days, from July 29 to 31, until its capacity is reached.

The Almudaina Royal Palace will close its doors from January 12 to June 30 to undertake the final phase of a comprehensive renovation that will completely transform the visitor experience and the monumental lighting of one of Palma's most iconic landmarks. The works, financed with European funds from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, represent an investment of over €2.3 million and are scheduled for completion by the end of the first half of 2026. National Heritage is carrying out two major projects at the site. Firstly, it is allocating €435,600 to the renovation of the palace's interior and exterior lighting, incorporating energy efficiency and sustainability criteria. Secondly, it is undertaking a €1.8 million project that includes a new museum layout, the upgrading of the visitor center, and the expansion of the tourist route, with the aim of providing a clearer and more organized understanding of the monument's history and highlighting its architecture and cultural assets.
