Drive towards Palma from the hills as I do, gaze down, and most days in Summer you will see smog over the city. Frightening, some days it looks like LA. Mallorca needs to get going on EV charging points (yes, I know the argument re damage still done via power stations, but it’s a case of the lesser evil). And we still need transparency re cruise ships...
When it was built, lots of people complained it was a waste of money and far too big !!!
I wonder how many vehicles use the Cintura in the Winter. During the Winter , it is the workers going into and out of Palma etc. It illustrates that tens of thousands of residents own a car. There is a poor Bus Service throughout the Island, so people use cars. The combination of Workers Cars, Tourist Buses, Hire Cars etc. in the Summer,needs to be addressed. Think of the serious amount of pollution is being exhausted in the Summer. A major restriction of the vehicles using roads in Mallorca , is of paramount requirement, almost urgent need..
Those selfish tourists are at it again. Renting cars, buying fuel, exploring the island, eating in restaurants. Why can’t they just stay put in their hotels. Driving to Palma early in the morning on a regular basis, I don’t see rent a cars, I see tradesmen, delivery trucks, locals going to work, not rent a cars. And the tourism hate campaign continues.
