Balearic Islands tighten controls on lifeguards – more safety or lip service?

Answer

What is special about lifeguards on the Paseo Marítimo in Palma de Mallorca?

The Paseo Marítimo in Palma is a good place to notice how seasonal Mallorca beach services work in practice. In winter, many lifeguard towers are quiet, while the real pressure comes when contracts are signed and staff are hired for the busy months. It shows how dependent beach safety is on stable, well-organised seasonal work.
