Attack on Plaza Quadrado: Why is an evening walk suddenly life-threatening for students?

Answer

Are quiet squares in Palma really safe at night?

Quiet squares can feel peaceful, but they are not automatically safe just because they are attractive or residential. If bushes, shadows or side exits make it easy to hide or escape, the risk can increase. In Palma, even calm-looking places may need better lighting and more visible evening activity.
