Answer

Is it safe to hike in Mallorca after sunset?

It can be safe only if the route is well known, the timing is realistic and everyone in the group is properly equipped. After sunset, the risk of disorientation rises sharply in Mallorca’s mountain areas, especially where paths are narrow or poorly visible. A headlamp, offline navigation and a clear turnaround time are important.
