Answer

Is it safe to attend a Jaleo in Mallorca or Menorca?

These horse celebrations can be safe when people follow the rules and organizers manage the crowd carefully, but they are not low-risk events. Spectators often stand very close to the horses, so sudden movements, noise and poor positioning can create danger. Visitors should treat the event with caution and avoid entering restricted or unsafe areas.
