In December 2020, a local pressure group, Reviure Tofla, said that exploitation of the Can Negret quarry in Alaro would extend to 88 hectares by 2072. The group was highly critical of a Balearic government authorisation for further exploitation. This would allow the extraction of over three million tonnes of material per year, equivalent to eight times the interior volume of Palma Cathedral and eighteen per cent of the volume of the Gorg Blau reservoir.
How vast will Alaro's giant quarry become?
The quarry is operated by Cemex
