James , it's a fair point as I think off road parking would certainly help. Could be a double edged sword though as it may encourage more traffic. Off road parking plus some sort of traffic limitation (if possible , probably not as it would require resource) could be the best solution . The area requires more conservation .and protection
to be fare if the government actually spent some of the money we give them on building a decent car park then there wouldn't be a problem ...in the winter its the snow and in the summer its the hikers ....the parking bays are always full and the roads are always blocked....
Miserable sods. I drove up there and it was great fun.
What a bunch of miserable so and so’s you all are. No evidence of this spreading the virus, most people here (unlike in the UK) are observing protocols. Why not take the kids to see the snow? A little bit of happiness amidst all the gloom. Traffic jams, so what, they are everywhere. Also, I just love the way the Spanish constantly use the word collapse. The only thing that has truly collapsed here is the government.
I didn't move to Mallorca for the snow. I'd sooner poke my eye with a sharp stick.
Oh come on everyone. Let´s get in the car and go and see some snow. The car might break down or we could have an accident on the slippy narrow roads. We may even get stuck overnight or even get out of the car, slip and break a limb or two. Hopefully we won´t catch the Covid Virus from the other sightseers but hey, at least we´ll have seen a bit of snow.
And this is how corona spreads too. People don't give a monkey's and just do as they see fit when it suits them.
Quite right Yogi. Every Winter they go to see the snow. Then slip and slide on the Mountain roads. Causing Accidents and traffic jams.
Same as always! Stupid.
