Cruising Safely on Mallorca: What Tourists and Authorities Should Finally Do Differently

Answer

Can sand or Calima make roads dangerous in Mallorca?

Yes, Calima can leave fine sand on Mallorca’s roads, and that can make the surface much more slippery than it looks. After rain, dust and oil residue can become especially hazardous for motorbikes. Riders should slow down, leave more space, and assume the grip may change suddenly.
