Drizzle Instead of North Wind: A Mild, Wet October Day in Port d'Andratx

Answer

Is it a good idea to use an umbrella in coastal wind in Mallorca?

It can work for very light wind, but on exposed parts of the coast umbrellas often become awkward quickly. In places like Port d'Andratx, drizzle combined with gusts can make a rain jacket the more reliable choice. That usually keeps both hands free and avoids a bent umbrella.
