Answer

What should I do if I lose my way hiking in Mallorca?

If you lose your way in Mallorca, the safest approach is usually to stop, stay calm and avoid taking risky shortcuts. Try to retrace your steps, check offline maps if you have them and use your phone only if there is signal. If you are unsure and it is getting dark, alert the emergency services rather than continuing deeper into unfamiliar terrain.
