Joana Maria Adrover, the councillor for tourism, commerce and employment, acknowledges that the terraces will remain where they are until February and says that the town hall is opening up dialogue with those involved - restaurant owners, residents and workers.
The intention, she insists, is to find a solution that isn’t harmful to anyone and which results in beneficial change.
The problem along the Born is not one of overcrowding but of ensuring “emblematic spaces” are kept for the people of the city.
Adrover was speaking prior to a first meeting with the Majorca Restaurants Association, at which both parties agreed to work together on initiatives which reduce seasonality, such as the Tapalma fair in October. They also spoke about how to ensure that cruise-ship tourists are better informed about the city’s historic centre.

The old saying "give them an inch and they take a mile" comes to mind with this situation. Borne 'BELONGS' to the people of Palma not to the few who want to despoil it for their own ends. As you say in your article... “emblematic spaces” are kept for the people of the city. If this is true then let the people of Palma decide not the cafe bar owners or the Council.
