Answer

What kind of repair is usually better for a Serra de Tramuntana retaining wall?

For walls in the Serra, a repair that respects traditional dry-stone building is often the most suitable long-term approach. Concrete may be useful in some emergency situations, but local stonework is usually better adapted to the landscape and the way these walls are meant to function.
