Answer

What should I know before hiking in the Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca at night?

Night hikes in the Serra de Tramuntana can become confusing very quickly because paths, gullies and landmarks are much harder to read after sunset. Temperatures also drop, phone signal is not reliable everywhere, and even a familiar route can feel much longer in the dark. A charged phone, a headlamp, enough water and a downloaded offline route are sensible basics.
