Drone Over Palma: Why 35 Minutes of Chaos Are Not the Whole Story

Answer

Are there fines for flying a drone illegally in Mallorca?

Yes, illegal drone flights can lead to penalties in Spain, including Mallorca, but the final amount depends on the type of violation and whether the flight is considered recreational or commercial. The range can be very wide, and authorities still need to identify who was responsible before action is taken. That is one reason enforcement can be complicated.
