Mallorca's ghost town Puntiró: Who will clean up this million-euro wasteland?

Answer

Why is Puntiró in Mallorca considered a fire risk in summer?

The site sits close to pine forest, and neglected land can quickly become dangerous in hot, dry conditions. Waste, illegal grills and uncontrolled access all increase the chance that a fire could start or spread. That is why the area is seen as more than just an eyesore; it is also a safety issue.
