Body on a finca near S'Aranjassa: How safe is the hinterland anymore?

Answer

Why are crimes in Mallorca's rural areas harder to investigate?

Investigations in rural Mallorca can take longer because tracks, traces and footprints are more easily disturbed by wind, heat, animals and farm traffic. Unlike in an urban street or apartment block, evidence at a finca can disappear quickly, so police often have less material to work with.
