Answer

Why do rescues happen so often on Mallorca hiking routes?

Many rescues in Mallorca happen because people underestimate the terrain, the heat or the length of a route. A trail may look manageable on a map but become much harder on rocky ground, in full sun or without enough water. Weak mobile signal and limited route knowledge can make a small problem much bigger.
