Cliff Accident at Port d'Andratx: A Near Fall and the Big Question of Road Safety

Answer

When is it most risky to drive along Mallorca's coastal roads?

The risk tends to rise in low light, at dusk, and during busy periods when traffic is heavier and the roads feel more crowded. Morning and high-season conditions can also be demanding if drivers are distracted by parking, views, or unfamiliar road layouts. On exposed stretches, even a small mistake can have serious consequences.
