Answer

How common are rockslides in Mallorca after heavy rain?

Rockslides can happen in Mallorca’s more exposed mountain areas, especially after periods of heavy rain. Rain often acts as the final trigger, but loose rock, steep slopes and drainage problems can also play a role. The risk is taken seriously because even a single collapse can cut off roads and nearby homes.
