Answer

Why is the Serra de Tramuntana especially tricky for hikers?

The Serra de Tramuntana has narrow, steep and sometimes slippery paths, which makes it harder than it looks on a map. In hot weather, those conditions become even more demanding, especially for visitors who are not used to mountain terrain. Good shoes, water and realistic route planning make a big difference there.
