Answer

Why are Cala Rajada and nearby beaches so exposed during storms in Mallorca?

Cala Rajada and nearby coastal areas can be hit hard because they face open sea and strong gusts during bad weather. When storms combine wind, high waves and heavy rain, promenades and access roads can flood quickly. That makes these areas vulnerable even when the storm itself does not last very long.
