Esporles yesterday held a party to greet four new members of the community. Joaneta, Pepa, Barrera and Llum are their names, and they are four donkeys who will be employed to keep vegetation to a minimum in the torrent. Maintaining torrents by reducing vegetation and by getting rid of rubbish and general debris is important in order to allow water to flow properly when the rains come and to also prevent the torrents from bursting their banks and flooding.
