“This candidacy is a unique opportunity to showcase the potential of Palma and Mallorca to the world, to strengthen our commitment to creation and innovation, and to make culture an economic driver for the city. Palma 2031 is a collective commitment that involves all of us, and it has the firm support of the Consell de Mallorca,” he emphasized.
