Answer

Can you safely walk in Mallorca parks with pine trees during caterpillar season?

Walking in Mallorca parks can still be possible, but caution is important in areas with pine trees during caterpillar season. If there are no clear notices, it is hard to know whether a path has recently been treated or whether nests are still present. Parents and dog owners should stay alert and avoid touching suspicious nests or caterpillars.
