Short break before the rain: Is Mallorca ready for the fast cold front?

Answer

Why can sudden rain be a problem in old towns like Santanyí and Valldemossa?

Old town centres in Mallorca such as Santanyí and Valldemossa can struggle when heavy rain arrives quickly because their drainage systems are not built for sudden amounts of water. That can lead to flooding in streets and low-lying areas, especially during short, intense downpours.
