The full council meeting in Palma yesterday approved the change to the official name of the city. It will now revert to being Palma and not Palma de Mallorca. The approval will be referred to the Balearic parliament in order that it can give definitive approval of the change under the law governing regional and provincial capital cities.

I'm just amazed that they managed to AGREE on anything! Now get on & tackle the real problems that affect the everyday lives of ordinary people.
I am very surprised at this name modification. When I book Flights etc., it is always refered to PALMA DE MALLORCA. There are other places in the world that are named PALMA. So I hope when I book a Flight, I get to Palma de Mallorca !!!.
