It happens whenever there is poor weather in the summer - tourists head for Palma, and Palma is therefore packed out.

For many decades Mallorca has no altèrnative for Tourists when inclement weather occurs. This Season the problem has been made much worse because of the very poor transport infrastructure on the whole Island. Not to mention the mystery surrounding NO TAXIS !!!!
I always advise friends, family and guests who come here not to visit Palma on an unexpectedly cloudy day in the high season, precisely because of the complete gridlock and overcrowding everywhere. Not an enjoyable experience. Palma’s transport infrastructure is not up to it.
Seriously?! You would think by the way this article is written that we have as many, or even more, bad weather days than the UK where Palma needs to face the "carnage" like every other day. Yet the reality is that Mallorca gets but a handful of bad weather days per year. Tourists have the right to go to Palma as and when they like just like the rest of us.
A park and ride scheme is needed ASAP. The roads in Palma collapse due to hire cars when it rains.
