The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has put a new pay parking system into operation in the port area of Mahon. The system, which was launched last Monday, will be in operation until 30 September, coinciding with the busiest months. The aim is to encourage vehicle rotation in the area.

Furthermore, the APB has made 100 free parking spaces available in the area of Cala Figuera, adding to the 25 free ones located on the road to Punta des Rellotge. Furthermore, 90 motorbike parking spaces have also been made available.

The times will be different to those in Mahon, with the night-time hours slightly extended. A fee will be paid to park between 9am and 2pm and 5.30pm and 10.30pm, Monday to Saturday.

The set fee will be the same as in the city of Mahon (€0.50 for twenty minutes and €1.50 per hour). In order to benefit those who use the area on a regular basis, an orange zone has been created in the area of s’Hort Nou with a reduced fee of €0.20 per hour and a maximum stay of 8 hours.

The 11 parking meters installed in the area allow users to obtain tickets for the blue zone and the orange zone.
