Answer

Is it safe to hike in Mallorca during hot weather?

Hiking in Mallorca can be safe in warm weather if you plan carefully, but summer heat can become dangerous very quickly. The main risks are dehydration, exhaustion and overheating, especially on exposed paths without much shade. It is usually wiser to walk early in the morning or later in the day and avoid the strongest midday sun.
