Bulls on Bolonia Beach: Between Natural Behavior and Tourist Concern

Answer

Why do cattle sometimes end up near beaches in Mallorca and other coastal areas?

In some coastal areas, livestock graze close to open land that reaches toward the shore, so animals can move nearer to beaches than visitors expect. On warm days, they may also seek open, breezier spaces. That makes encounters with people possible, especially where tourism and grazing happen in the same area.
