Wayside Resting Place: Between Charm and Responsibility

Answer

Who is responsible for the benches installed along the path in Mallorca?

The benches were apparently placed by a private individual, but no public authority had formally approved or adopted them beforehand. That leaves open questions about ownership, maintenance, and liability. In Mallorca, responsibility for roadside features usually needs to be clearly agreed between the donor and the relevant authorities.
