Road closures in Palma for giant screen installation

The giant screen being installed in the Placa de la Reina on Saturday 6 will disrupt traffic and bus routes but also provide an entertaining evening.

The celebration is expected to attract a large crowd and further closures may be necessary.

The pre-match warm-up at Plaça de la Reina will feature Los 40 Mallorca and Cadena Ser radio stations, which promises a lively show to keep the crowd in a party mood. The entertainment kick-off is at 6 pm, the football at 10 pm.

Thus, from 6 pm there will be diversions for the following buses: No. 3 (Inca-Juan Carlos I bridge); No. 4 (ses Illetes-pl Columnes); No. 7 (Sont Gotleu-Son Xigala); No. 20 (Portopí-Son Espases); No. 25 (s’Arenal- Pl de la Reina) and No. 35 (Aquarium -Plaza de la Reina).

Football madness

We remind readers that Palma City Council, in partnership with Radio Mallorca Cadena SER, is setting up a massive screen at Plaça de la Reina on Saturday 6 for fans to watch the Copa del Rey final live.
