Answer

Why are some Mallorca hiking routes harder than they look?

Some Mallorca paths look straightforward on a map but become difficult once the ground turns rocky, steep or exposed to wind. Coastal routes can also feel harder because there may be little shade, uneven footing and limited mobile signal. Reading local signs and choosing a route that matches your experience can prevent problems.
