I am not sure we need to worry too much just yet
I was last over at easter and I didn't think the pinewalk looked much different to the way it always looks out of season .............. sand blown up due to some recent storms, beaches in their natural state ( which I have to say I quite like .... for the winter months ) and one or two places having some work done on them so resembling a building site
There are a few notable exceptions ............. the area around Katy's was a mess because of the building work above Katy's the deriliction of the ground floor and the added complication of some pipe laying just outside which meant the cobbles ( are they cobbles ? ) were all up in places .............. Little Italy must be so annoyed about it .
The other area that was a bit unsightly was towards the
Illa D'Or where a couple fo pines had blown down in a storm and cracked the pavement ............ but again this was being fixed
And to finish ........... there is the Palm Tree problem
However ........... each year there is always somethign ......... remember the year 3 big pines were damaged outside the
Sis Pins; remember a couple of years ago when the whole pedestrian area was dug up to lay new utility pipes .......... and Mestral was being rebuilt out of season PP looked like a building site ........... but all was ok in time.
So personally, I am not too concerned about the seasonal / weather related issues but I do understand the concerns about "progress" ........... but surely progress will always happen and we just have to hope it will be tasteful and in keeping with the surroundings. Take the
Daina ...... when that was first made over into the "Glass and Chrome" I hated it but over time I think it has grown on me and I think it gives the impression of being a nice, tasteful good quality establishment.
I would far rather see a glass fronted, modern Majorcan run restaurant ( take C'an Josep or Maxims for example ......... look good, food good and very reasonably priced ) than somewhere that fills the frontage with tacky boards advertising their menus ( simbads and the awful looking place in the square next door to Maxims )
