Balearic Islands Tighten Rules Against Bird Flu – Feeding Only in Protected Areas

Answer

Can visitors in Mallorca still go to beaches and markets during the bird flu alert?

Yes, normal tourism is not disrupted by the bird flu rules. Beach walks, restaurant visits, and market trips can continue as usual, but visitors should not feed wild birds or interfere with municipal advice signs. If you see poultry on a rural property, it's reasonable to ask whether the owner has taken the recommended precautions.
