Answer

Are cash payments risky when hiring tradespeople in Mallorca?

Cash payments can make disputes harder to prove, especially if there is no written contract or receipt. Bank transfers, card payments or other traceable methods are safer because they leave a record. In Mallorca, that kind of paper trail can matter a lot if a job is not completed or someone later makes threats.
