Dispute over Camí de sa Roca: Who may walk Mallorca's paths?

Answer

Can people walk old paths in Mallorca if they are not clearly marked?

Sometimes yes, but it depends on the legal status of the path. In Mallorca, many historic routes were used for generations without always being clearly mapped, so whether a path is public or private can still be disputed. When the ownership or right of way is unclear, the safest answer is to check local signage, municipal information, or official records before assuming access is allowed.
