Answer

Why do Mallorca roads flood so quickly during a storm?

Mallorca’s road drainage can struggle when heavy rain falls in a short time, especially in low-lying areas. Water then collects on the surface, which can turn small dips in the road into problem spots and leave drivers with stuck cars or blocked routes.
