Four missions in one day: How fit is Mallorca's mountain rescue?

Answer

Why do hikers get into trouble in Mallorca’s coastal paths and torrents?

Many incidents in Mallorca happen because people underestimate the terrain or go out without the right equipment. Coastal paths can be narrow and exposed, while torrents are often slippery and difficult to navigate, especially after rain. A lack of water, suitable shoes or route planning can quickly lead to accidents or exhaustion.
