Answer

Is it safe to leave windows or doors open at night in Mallorca's old towns?

In many old towns in Mallorca, warm evenings often mean open doors, trapas and windows. That can feel normal, but it also makes it easier for someone to enter a home unnoticed. A simple lock, door chain or other basic security measure can make a real difference.
