New Radar Station on Puig de Randa: The White Dome Is Gone — and What's Missing

Answer

Why is the white dome on Puig de Randa gone?

The old dome has been removed as part of a radar upgrade on Puig de Randa. The new system is meant to improve airspace monitoring over Mallorca and the Balearics, with better precision and faster detection of aircraft movements. For many people, the change is also visible because it alters a landmark that was long part of the island's skyline.
