here is more controversy over Palma's Christmas lights. Some days after it was confirmed that there will not be lights in certain commercial areas of the city, there is now news that the lights in the main centre will not go until 3 December, a week later than has been the case in previous years. This decision by the town hall's citizen participation department has angered retailers, who say that they are working instead with the trade department to try and make sure that the lights go on in order to coincide with Black Friday on 25 November.

Bah hubug Palma Town Hall. Scrooges beyond belief. What a disgrace that the Christmas lights are being switched on a week later than usual. Palma is a fabulous city and a great winter short break destination. I have been going to Palma for many, many years and love the Christmas spirit and lights. Doesn't the Town Hall realise that Chrismas visitors generate a huge amount of income for the city? This year I have organised a birthday celebration for 20 guests in Palma for 3 nights from 1st December and the one thing I had really hoped to show everyone was the Christmas lights. Sadly that won't be happening now.
