Answer

What is the Serra de Tramuntana World Heritage status meant to protect?

The Serra de Tramuntana World Heritage listing is meant to protect the relationship between landscape, agriculture, heritage and traditional settlement. In Mallorca, that means changes to estates and rural buildings are often seen through the lens of whether they preserve the area’s long-term identity. A project can be legally approved and still raise questions about whether it supports that wider cultural landscape.
