Who decides on Mallorca's windows? Manacor sets colors and shapes

Answer

Why is Manacor changing the rules for windows and shutters?

Manacor is trying to give its streets a more coherent look by setting rules for window styles, door colours and the traditional wooden persianas. The idea is to protect the visual character of the town, especially in areas where a more uniform facade is seen as part of the local identity. The debate is not only about appearance, but also about how far a municipality can go in shaping private homes.
