Nine Days on the Mediterranean: How Could Help Arrive So Late?

Answer

Can people swim safely in the sea around Mallorca when the Gregal wind is blowing?

The Gregal can make the sea rough and conditions less predictable, especially along exposed stretches of coast. Even if the water looks manageable from shore, wind and waves can make swimming harder and increase the risk for weaker swimmers or small boats. Locals usually pay close attention to wind warnings before going out to sea or heading to the beach.
