Answer
How do new buildings in Llucmajor or Algaida affect the countryside?
In places like Llucmajor and around Algaida, new construction can reduce agricultural land, change the water balance and make historic paths harder to use. These effects are often felt most clearly when a field is replaced by fencing, machinery and a new access layout. That is why local impact matters as much as the building itself.
