Between Balconies and Empty Rooms: A Break-in in Playa de Palma and the Security Gaps

Answer

Why do older Mallorca hotels sometimes have weaker exterior security?

Continuous balconies, low railings and older facade layouts can make it easier for someone to move around outside the building. Without updated security systems, these features can become a problem during quiet periods.
