Palma Paseo plea

RESIDENTS living on the Paseo Marítimo in Palma are begging for tourists to be ‘civicminded’ after scenes of drunken disorder were reported at the weekend.

A newly formed neighbourhood platform posted a video on social networks filmed at 4.30am showing large crowds of young people partying and making noise, many of them visibly under the influence of alcohol.

“Palma and the Paseo Marítimo are causing the degradation of the image of the island’s tourism,” sentenced the association.

Residents formed the platform after a meeting several weeks ago to combat the ‘degradation’ of the neighbourhood due to the nightlife.

Spokespeople report spending whole nights being unable to sleep due to bars and clubs that do not comply with closing time regulations and large groups of youngsters who continue the party on the street.

The residents add that the next morning the area is full of rubbish and mess, especially at weekends.
