MALLORCA TODAY - Muro beach has lost 1,000 square metres a year

According to the Costas Authority, beaches in Playa de Muro and Can Picafort were reduced by 51,000 square metres over a 50-year period up to 2008. Since then, remedial action has been taken, primarily the installation of barriers and walkways in the dunes, to counteract the effects of the wind which is one of the main causes of beach loss.
