Answer

Is it legal to buy counterfeit goods at a market in Mallorca?

Buying counterfeit goods is not a harmless bargain, because the sale of fakes infringes trademark rights and supports illegal trade. Even if a shopper is not the main target of enforcement, the goods themselves are unlawful. In Mallorca, police action focuses mainly on the sellers and supply chains behind them.
