Answer
What is the safest way to carry a bag in Mallorca's resort areas?
Use a cross-body bag with the zipper facing inward or toward your back, and keep valuables in inner pockets where possible. A hotel safe is a better place for passports, extra cash, and spare cards. In busy resort areas, it is best to avoid leaving bags open or hanging loosely from a chair.
