Answer

Is it still okay to swim in Mallorca if there is a water shortage?

A water shortage in Mallorca does not usually stop swimming in the sea, and beaches remain open unless local conditions change. The problem is more about how water is used on land, including showers, cleaning and hotel operations. Visitors should still be mindful of local restrictions and avoid wasting water during their stay.
