Answer

Can a person in Palma be arrested on a European arrest warrant?

Yes. If another EU country issues a European arrest warrant, a suspect can be arrested in Palma and brought before the Spanish courts while extradition is considered. The process is used in cross-border cases where the alleged offences may have affected victims in more than one country.
