MALLORCA TODAY - Bars decide on closure protest

Bars and restaurants which are parts of the restaurant sections of the Balearics business confederation and the small- to medium-sized businesses association have decided to go ahead with a threatened closure of their establishments in protest at the smoking ban and its impact. The closure will take place on 18 April, though it will only start at 18.00 and last as long as it takes for a demonstration to take place.
