Answer

Can you still swim in Mallorca after heavy rain and flash floods?

Not always. After heavy rain, some bathing areas in Mallorca may stay open while others close, depending on local water quality and how much debris or contamination has reached the shore. In affected places, authorities usually wait for test results before allowing swimmers back in.
