Palma port park: Over 1,000 sign against industry

More than 1,000 signatures back a park at Sant Carles quay in Palma, Mallorca, as campaigners oppose plans for port industry. On Monday, 9 November 2026, the Salvem Portopí campaign said the La Bonanova-Portopí neighbourhood association had joined its call for a heritage and cultural park. ARCA, Palma XXI, GOB and Fridays for Future run the campaign.

The port authority plans to reclaim space from the sea for the nautical industry, according to the campaigners. They say residents of Sant Agustí and Cala Major have also backed the park proposal.

La Bonanova-Portopí warns that the work would bring economic and environmental costs, as well as traffic problems. It says thousands of lorries would carry material to be dumped into the sea. The groups oppose industrial use between Sant Carles Castle and the Torre de Senyals. They want the park to protect Palma’s original harbour.
