How does a truck end up on the cloister steps? Sóller mishap reveals a systemic gap

Answer

Why do delivery vans sometimes get stuck in the centre of Sóller?

Sóller’s old streets were not designed for modern delivery vehicles, and navigation systems do not always account for that. Drivers can end up following the shortest route into narrow access points that are unsuitable for larger vehicles. When signage, barriers, or route restrictions are unclear, mistakes become more likely.
