Answer

Are steep coastal areas in Mallorca safe after heavy rain?

Steep coastal areas in Mallorca can become more unstable after prolonged rain, especially where water saturates the ground and weakens the slope. The risk is higher in places with homes, roads, or paths built close to the edge without modern drainage or protection. Local authorities usually need to assess such areas carefully, especially after long wet periods.
