Answer

Is Mallorca safe for swimming if some coves have pollution problems?

Many parts of Mallorca remain good for swimming, but pollution can affect certain coves and coastal stretches, especially where pressure from visitors and development is high. Conditions can vary from place to place and from season to season, so it is worth checking local notices and being cautious in heavily used areas. For clean bathing water, quieter spots are often a better choice than crowded urban coves.
