Nighttime Fall in Biniaraix: What the Rescue Operation Reveals About Hiking Safety in the Tramuntana

Answer

Why do hikers get rescued at night in Mallorca's Tramuntana?

Night rescues often happen because hikers start too late, underestimate the route or lose their sense of direction once the light fades. In places like the Tramuntana, steep paths and poor mobile coverage can make a small problem turn into an emergency. Sometimes people also wait too long before calling for help because they do not realise how serious the situation is.
