Answer

Are old cisterns and wells on Mallorca dangerous for animals?

Yes, abandoned or uncovered cisterns and wells can be a serious hazard for dogs and other animals, especially on rural properties. On Mallorca, these structures still appear in the landscape and can be difficult to spot, particularly at dusk or in low light. Secure covers and clear markings help reduce the risk.
