Answer
What kind of shoes do you need for hiking in Mallorca?
For Mallorca’s rocky paths, shoes with good grip are important. Trainers may be fine for very easy routes, but they are not ideal on steep, loose or uneven ground. If you plan to hike in the Tramuntana or on exposed trails, sturdier walking shoes or hiking boots are a safer choice.
