Nighttime Wrong Turn at Puig Major: Why a Harmless Walk Can Quickly Turn Dangerous

Answer

Why is mobile signal unreliable on Mallorca hiking trails?

Many hiking routes in Mallorca pass through valleys, forests, and steep mountain terrain where phone reception can disappear. That makes a flat battery or weak signal a real problem if you need navigation or emergency help. For that reason, a map, offline navigation, and a power bank are often more useful than people expect.
