Answer

Why are old hiking routes in Mallorca often hard to resolve legally?

Many caminos públicos in Mallorca are based on older records that are not always fully digitised or clearly entered in modern land registers. That makes it harder for town halls, owners, and hikers to agree on where a route officially runs and who is responsible for keeping it open.
