200 euros extorted — Tourist attacked at Playa de Palma: What needs to be done now

Answer

What time of year is street theft more common in Mallorca?

Street theft tends to become more common in the summer season, when Mallorca’s tourist areas are busier and people are more distracted. Crowds, nightlife, and movement around beaches and hotels can give thieves more chances to act. That does not mean every visit is risky, but it does make awareness more important.
