Restrictions on Palma street performers

Clowns and jugglers will not be found by cruise passengers when they take the so-called cruise-ship route from the S’Hort del Rei gardens to the Plaça Espanya in Palma.
It has been  decreed thus in a measure to regulate the city’s street performers.
As a consequence, all street performers are to be prohibited in the S’Hort del Rei, Avenida Antoni Maura, by the Cathedral and in the Plaça de Cort, i.e. by the council offices.
The  prohibition was covered in the decree issued last summer in respect of public behaviour (the one that has become known as the “bikini law” on account of the requirement to cover up when away from the frontline).
Painters and cartoonists will not be able to occupy more than two metres by two metres, including space for a stand and table. They may not sell anything pre-made or by others. Such artists are typically found on the esplanade of Dalt Murada, on the steps that lead from S’Hort del Rei to the Palau Reial, in the Plaça Major and Placá Marqués del Palmer as well as along part of the calle Sant Miquel.
Musicians will be able to occupy one square metre per person, either as solo performers or as part of a group. They will not be allowed to use generators, while percussion or instruments with a “shrill” sound (which might be a trumpet) are to be banned. They will also not be allowed to perform in areas considered to be “acoustically contaminated” or of special protection. Nor will they, unless with permission, be able to perform in front of shops or official buildings.
