Valldemossa on the drip: When jerrycans are louder than tourist walks

Answer

Why is there a water shortage in Valldemossa?

Valldemossa is dealing with a mix of low groundwater, a long dry spell, ageing pipes and limited storage. A past power outage also affected the pumps, which made it harder to keep water moving through the system. The result is that some streets have only intermittent tap water, while the upper parts of the village have run dry.
