Arrests after threats at the city beach: Why an evening stroll must become safer again

Answer

What areas of Palma are more vulnerable to petty crime after dark?

The risk tends to increase where a busy promenade suddenly turns into a darker side street, stairway, or less visible passage. These transition areas can be more attractive to opportunistic crime than the main waterfront itself. Good lighting and steady foot traffic make a noticeable difference.
