Answer

Can you get heatstroke while hiking in Mallorca even when it does not feel extremely hot?

Yes. In Mallorca, sun exposure, exertion, dehydration, and irregular eating or medication can all contribute to heat-related illness even on days that feel only moderately warm. Older hikers and people with health conditions may be affected more quickly, especially on exposed coastal paths.
