Responsible for this content: Frank Menze
Mallorca: Strong winds bring down trees and branches in Palma on Thursday, 12 November, as the city shuts three parks and the Sagrera promenade. Palma firefighters are called to incidents across the city, many involving fallen trees, electricity poles or pieces of building facades.
The wind also damages electricity poles and Christmas lights that are being installed. Small pieces break away from some facades, the fire brigade says.
Palma City Council closes Can Terrers, la Ribera and Bellver parks, along with the Sagrera promenade, amid a yellow warning for strong winds and an orange warning for high waves. The sites are due to remain closed until early Friday.
