Why Alicante homes get this: The Mediterranean climate's combination of intense UV, occasional intense rainfall, and salt air creates specific roofing challenges. Flat terraced roofs (azoteas) are common and prone to waterproofing failure as membranes age. The rainy season (October–December) exposes latent leaks after the dry summer. Coastal properties need salt-resistant flashing and fixings.
