When the Surf Strikes: Deaths in Tenerife – What Mallorca Must Learn

Answer

What should I do if I want to visit a rocky cove or sea grotto in Mallorca?

Check the sea conditions first and avoid going close if there is strong surf, wind, or a warning flag. Rocky coves and grottoes can become unsafe very quickly because waves rebound off the stone and paths may be slippery. If there is any doubt, it is better to enjoy the view from a safer distance.
