In 2014 it was 219 Salvation of tourists On Mallorca. Last year it was 331, five more than in 2023, and this year the tendency to increase does not expect.
President Balearian mountaineering and climbing federationXisco Fanals, says the problem is growing. Online travel and camp sites seduce people without adequate training or equipment and can downplay the nature of the routes. A Torrent Parisa This is most obvious.
“This is a star route, but it is also a place where Most save the OscarThe field is that many of these sites relate to campaigns. Subbai thinks that this is just a walk, but this is not even hikes; He descends into the ravine, and you go to the torrent. “
According to the Federation, up to 60% of mountain salvations In the ballets are directly related to hiking. The main reasons are trips and falls, error, physical problems and weather. They offer a stem from the lack of training and information, lack of physical training, revaluation of their abilities or inability to check the weather forecast.
There should be so much information. Fanals says the federation has been asking for years about Information employees To be placed at the beginning and at the end of the PAREIS route torrent, in order to prevent people without adequate equipment do not undertake it. “About twelve years of August there was an informational person.
The torrent in the escort leads the accident rating, but this is not the only black place. A Kami del PintorWhich of Cala Deia to Bens d’Avall in Soller is one of the most popular summer campaigns. Fanals explains: “You can get there by bus; It is easy to decorate, look with a height of 10 meters, the views are beautiful, but at the same time, the earth leans steeply to the sea, and the unit is inferior. Delete a few death accidents Reported. If Sumone fails, these are ontic stones from a height of ten or twelve meters. “
The third in the ranking of black spots Mortitx in pollenThe field, unlike the previous two, where accidents relate to the most inexperienced tourists, the source of the problem is Lack of phone coverageWhat makes people get lost. “This is a stormy area; Mount Gora calls this a Mordor (after The lord of the rings) Becca is easy to get lost. This is a different beautiful area, but the paths are similar and not very clearly defined. You also have a drawback that you do not have a phone cover. In the Pareis torrent, it is impossible to lose Scholause, you can only rise or load. In contrast, Mortitx is a large expansion of the karst landscape; Lost Can lead to an accident. “
Commenting on the accident in Coll Baix (Alcudia) For several days of August, Fanals notes that such incidents occurred in the past. “There is access to a beautiful bay, which is not so difficult. The path goes softly down to the right, but there is Alows Alow Sub, who think that if they rise in a vertical region.
