Tragic Fall in Cala Sant Vicenç: A Wake-Up Call for Greater Coastal Safety

Answer

Why can mobile phone coverage be poor along some Mallorca beaches and cliffs?

That can be a real problem in an emergency, especially if someone needs help quickly. It is one reason local safety plans sometimes call for emergency beacons or other signal-independent systems.
