Answer

Why are there roadworks in Mallorca during the winter?

Winter is the quietest season in many parts of Mallorca, with fewer tourists, less traffic and cooler temperatures. That makes it a practical time for repairs and upgrades that would be more disruptive in summer. For residents and businesses, it can still mean noise and detours, but usually for a shorter and more manageable period.
