Deadly rockfall in Es Castell: Who protects houses on the coast?

Answer

What warning signs can suggest a slope in Mallorca is unstable?

Cracks in the ground, falling stones, fresh debris and visible shifts in a rock face can all be warning signs of instability. After heavy rain, these signs may become more noticeable because water can weaken the slope. In Mallorca, any repeated sign of movement near a home or road should be taken seriously and reported.
