Permit requirement in the Tramuntana: Who will close off our paths?

Answer

Why do Mallorca officials and hikers disagree about closing Tramuntana paths?

The disagreement is between protecting private property and keeping public access to historic routes. Supporters of stricter control want more privacy and protection for sensitive land, while hikers and local residents fear lost access, more bureaucracy and weaker connections between villages. The challenge is finding a balance that works for both sides.
