Answer

Who is responsible if a tourist gets injured while hiking in Mallorca?

Responsibility depends on the situation, and it is not always easy to assign blame. A hiker’s own preparation matters, but route information, safety advice and the role of tour operators, rental companies or local authorities can also be part of the discussion. In practice, the safest approach is to assume that the hiker must prepare properly and check conditions carefully before setting out.
