The residents association views this party with concern; it is a celebration of the reopening of terraces that have been closed because of the work being carried out on the Paseo.
The president, Antonio Ruiz, says: "We view this party with horror. There is already a great deal of noise. It will now get worse. Nightlife venues have had problems because of the work and now they will try to attract people to the terraces. But having nightlife in a residential area is outrageous."
The association has lodged many complaints about nightlife noise and is critical of town hall "inaction". "We are totally helpless."
Manuel Jiménez, president of the Paseo's businesses association, points out that there have been losses of up to 60% because of the work. He insists that the relationship with the residents is "excellent". "We agree on many things, but with nightlife we do have differences." He adds: "Nightlife has always been there and the establishments comply with their licences and hours."

Morgan WilliamsYes it seems that since the obese orange orangutan had a stint in the white house, truth and facts are whatever you want them to be.
Zoltan TeglasYou need to understand the urban definition of "Communism". "Communists" are those responsible for anything one finds uncomfortable or objectionable. For example, no doubt communists are responsible for pigeons shitting on statues. "Communists" can be anyone, often secretly lurking in the shadows. For that reason, those making that accusation are often unable to identify exactly who it is. It's... you know, "them". So, watch your back. They're everywhere.
James WalkerIt's absolutely nothing to do with communism but everything to do with capitalism. It's really not that hard to understand the difference.
I used to live in a bar/restaurant district in a city center. That was actually the attraction; being in the middle of the action. It was good, but yes, noisy until wee hours. But that's just the nature of the beast. When I got tired of it, I moved away. Some other person seeking to live in the middle of the action took it.
We are not far from communism, you give the minority what they want, the ones shouting the loudest, everybody has to fall in line. Anybody who doesn't, is an outsider or a trouble maker. Then you have control. It's frightening how fast it's happening and the people cannot see it. One day you will wake up and realise you have no freedom because you gave it all away to the government. You only have to look back to Hitler, Lenin and Mao, it's the same principles just delivered in a slightly different way.
These Terrasses & Bars are Cash Cows for Palma and as has been stated many times by people from both the residents and local owners Noise is and allways has been an Issue the old beat of Tito’s will be missed and the Grand opening of the Bars again will be for sure Fun for some and a Nightmare for the pensioner on the 2nd floor , this is an old problem which will for sure not be solved soon !
Don't buy/rent a house next to a church if you don't like bells.
