Overview

• The project encompasses 35 measures over 10 years, including street and sidewalk renovations, integration with the BiciPalma bike network and park-and-ride lots tied to a planned train line.
• Planners aim to convert outdated one- and two-star hotels and hostels into housing, build 450 new apartments and ban new budget hostels to curb party tourism.
• The city council has started consultations with residents and industry groups to refine design and implementation details.
• Upgrades to the sewage system and street lighting have been underway for two years, with work pausing each summer to avoid disrupting visitors.
• New green spaces, cultural facilities and stricter controls on illegal holiday rentals are intended to boost livability while preserving tourism’s economic contribution.
