Answer

What should you do if you find archaeological remains while walking in Mallorca?

The best step is to avoid touching or moving anything and report the location to the local town hall or heritage authorities. GPS coordinates, photos from a distance, and a clear description of the site can help specialists assess the find quickly. In Mallorca, that kind of early reporting can make a real difference before weather or foot traffic damage the remains.
