They will also be responsible for "monitoring the application of traffic restrictions, which will come into force in the area at around 7pm". Specifically, the area affected will be the Plaza de la Reina, as well as nearby areas, such as the Paseo del Borne and the avenues Jaume III and Antoni Maura".
For its part, the Empresa Municipal de Transportes de Palma (EMT) has announced that on the 14th of July its vehicles will carry Spanish flags in their rear-view mirrors as an "action of support for the Spanish national team in view of the momentous duel they face this Sunday". In addition, the municipal area of Mobility will authorise that on the day of the match "taxi drivers in Palma will be able to drive their vehicles wearing red clothing or with ornaments that refer to the colours of the national flag".
It should be remembered that Palma City Council has already installed a giant screen in the Plaza de la Reina for the final of the Copa del Rey, which Real Mallorca played last April against Athletic Club de Bilbao in the La Cartuja stadium in Seville.
