The president of the Balearic Ports Authority, Javier Sanz, admitted on Monday that the redevelopment of the Paseo Marítimo in Palma will not be completed until April or May 2025. The original schedule was for completion in October 2024, so the works will run on for six months at the least.

BeachcomberYawn. Here we go again. The Brits will go somewhere else and the island will have no tourists. When are some people going to realise the island does not depend on British tourism anymore . Yes its a nice added bonus but there are 30+ european countries from which people are happy to come. Moreover its all rubbish anyway. The Brits won't come has been spouted for years and it hasn't happened yet. Yes the work is a shambles and yes I sympathise with the business owners. It will all get sorted out in the end. When you live here you take the good with the bad. Tuesday afternoon I needed to see a doctor. Phoned my local clinic, got an appointment 08.50 next morning. In and out with my prescription in less that 10 mins. I'll take that any day.
In Norway, they would have built a bridge, cut through a mountain, finished a tunnel, laid 40 km of motorway and it would have been finished quicker than the paseo works.
A complete and utter shambles, it should not have been changed and had all the excellent parking shaded by the palm trees. All the businesses have lost out big time and the last time I bothered to drive there in the evening like we used to it was full of very unsavoury characters and now watch thieves as well. What with this mess and the new entry and exit system in October, Palma and Majorca will become ghostly quiet as Brits particularly will head off to more welcoming destinations like Turkey or increasingly the Dominican Republic.
Chris GWhat has happened to the completion of all construction by April 30 every year. Restarting on 01 November. I suspect deliberate slow working, to increase working periods , and wages/salarys.
Having checked the progress recently I see little realistic prospect of this being finished by April next year. More likely end 2025 IMO. Throught the project it has appeared to be moving at a snails pace with very few workers on the project on any given day. The poor hoteliers and business owners on that strip who have already endured almost two years of construction, now facing a further 18 months! While on the topic of large civil projects, whatever happened to phase two of the Parc de Mar restoration?
