“An increase in sanctions has been verified for excessive occupation of public spaces and the more tourists there are, the more people occupy the terraces,” warned Citizen Participation & Interior Government Councillor, Alberto Jarabo, who also pointed out that extra people on the terraces causes more inconvenience to neighbours.
"This Easter we received more complaints about the increasing number of people on terraces,” he added. “Town Hall informers will monitor the streets to avoid overcrowding; you cannot reduce the quality of life in the city."
Mr Jarabo said a meeting was held recently with Neighbourhood Associations who have expressed concern about busy terraces.
Palma City Council says restaurant and bar owners will be reminded that they must adhere to the maximum number of people they're allowed to have on terraces.

Clamping down or just making the restaurants obey the law? What do you suggest, let them do whatever they want? A totally sensationalist headline!
