A bridge too many on the Paseo Maritimo in Palma
Farewell to historic walk which connected Palma luxury hotel to swimming pool
It was the end of the line for two historic bridges on the Paseo Maritimo in central Palma today as they came crashing down to make way for the new promenade. The bridge at the Puente de Paraires and the walkway with the old Hotel Mediterraneo are no more. This walkway which connected the luxury hotel Mediterraneo with its swimming pool was built in the 1950s and was an architectural icon of the city.
Building work on the new look Paseo Maritimo is behind schedule and has not been without controversy as it led to the closure and later demolition of the popular British owned nightspot, the Social Club. However, this week the Britishb owners announced that they would be moving to a new venue on the Paseo Maritimo which has double the capacity.

The Club de Mar started its construction works in May 2020 and hopes to be ready for the summer of next year.
