Dead shark on Palma's city beach: a sign of a bigger problem?

Answer

Can you swim at a Palma beach if a dead marine animal has been found nearby?

Not necessarily. Whether a beach should be closed depends on the situation and on the decision of the relevant authorities, so swimmers should follow local instructions and lifeguard advice. If there is any official warning, it is wiser to stay out of the water until the area is cleared.
