Who will be allowed to walk through the Serra in the future? The law that pits hikers and landowners against each other

Answer

Can hikers still walk through the Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca without asking permission?

In many parts of the Serra de Tramuntana, walking routes are still used as public paths, but the situation is complicated because much of the land is privately owned. A new draft law has raised concern because it could give landowners more say over access and rerouting. The actual right to walk depends on whether a path is formally public or crosses private land.
