Serious Fall in Santa Ponça: How Safe Are Our Stairwells?

Answer

Why do older apartment buildings in Mallorca need more stair safety checks?

Over time, even small defects can add up and create real hazards in communal stairwells. Regular checks are especially important in Mallorca, where many buildings have been in use for decades.
