Palma plans 134.2 million euros for streets and parks

Palma on Mallorca plans to spend 134.2 million euros in 2027 on its neighbourhoods: pavements, parks and schools are all in line for work. Belén Soto, the councillor responsible for infrastructure, presented the city council’s plans on Wednesday, 11 November 2026. The budget for her department is 12.5 per cent higher than this year’s.

Pavements, shade and streetlights

The city has set aside 21.2 million euros for streets, pavements and public spaces. That includes 6 million euros to renew pavements and road surfaces in neighbourhoods including Secar de la Real and Coll d’en Rabassa. The paving in Plaça de Cort is also due to be renewed.

Parks and gardens have a budget of 25.7 million euros. Nearly 586,000 euros is earmarked for more shade from trees and artificial shelters, while 750,000 euros is planned for improvements to the planters at Playa de Palma. Another 13.2 million euros is allocated to public lighting, including the gradual replacement of conventional lights with LEDs.

Schools and the seafront

The schools budget stands at 14.4 million euros. Nearly 3.8 million euros of that is intended for maintenance at public infant and primary schools, including cooling, lighting and repairs.

The plans also include 2.5 million euros to remodel the seafront promenade at Playa de Palma. The money is in the 2027 budget, but the city has not given start dates for the individual projects.
