Answer

Are ATMs in Playa de Palma a risk for tourists?

ATMs can be a target because people often focus on the machine and not on what is happening around them. In Playa de Palma, that makes waiting, withdrawing cash or checking a balance a vulnerable moment. It is best to stay aware of your surroundings and avoid using an ATM if a group is lingering nearby.
