Andratx creates 400 new parking spaces – who really benefits?
Why New Parking Areas Raise Environmental Concerns in Mallorca
Asphalt parking areas in Mallorca can increase heat, seal soil, and reduce rainwater absorption.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why are people in Mallorca worried about new parking areas on sealed land?
Because large asphalted surfaces heat up quickly, seal the ground, and reduce how well rainwater can soak in after heavy showers. In Mallorca, where heat and extreme weather are becoming more important, that is a real concern. Parking solves one problem but can create another if it is not designed carefully.
