Why fireworks on Mallorca aren't simply banned — and where the limits lie

Answer

Why do Mallorca towns allow fireworks at festivals?

Fireworks are part of long-standing local festival traditions in Mallorca, especially for patron saint celebrations, processions and special community events. They also support local craftsmanship and small businesses that produce pyrotechnics for the island. For many towns, the issue is not whether to keep the tradition, but how to manage it safely and with fewer side effects.
