Valldemossa on the drip: When jerrycans are louder than tourist walks

Answer

Why do the upper streets of Valldemossa run out of water first?

Water pressure in hillside villages often follows the layout of the network, so higher streets can be affected first when supply is reduced. In Valldemossa, that means homes uphill may see the taps dry up while lower areas still have some water. The problem becomes more noticeable when storage is limited and the system is under strain.
