Answer

Are mountain villages in Mallorca safe during periods of intense rainfall?

Mallorca’s mountain villages are generally inhabited and maintained, but steep terrain always brings some risk during intense rainfall. Safety depends on how well slopes, drainage and access roads are monitored and maintained. The main concern is not only the rock face itself, but whether residents can still be reached quickly if something happens.
