Rockfalls in Esporles: When Will Normality Return?

Answer

Which areas in Mallorca are more exposed to rockfalls and slope failures?

Mountain-adjacent settlements and roads are generally more exposed, especially where buildings sit on steep ground or where drainage is weak. Places with old retaining walls, dense runoff after storms or road cuts through rock can be particularly vulnerable. Esporles is one example of why hillside communities need close monitoring after heavy rain.
