A 65-year-old hiker was rescued in the Fumat area after falling ill.

PalmA 65-year-old hiker had to be rescued this Saturday at midday after falling ill while hiking in the Fumat area, one of the steepest and most demanding sections of Mallorca's north coast. The man was on a trail when, for reasons that have not been disclosed, he became unwell and was unable to continue on his own. According to the Mallorca Fire Department, upon receiving the emergency call, the Milana rescue helicopter, the specialized aerial unit for intervention in difficult-to-access locations, was immediately activated. The aircraft flew to the indicated location, and once there, the firefighters located the hiker, who was in an area particularly challenging to reach. The firefighters stabilized him and ensured his evacuation, a maneuver that in this rugged terrain requires precise coordination between ground personnel and the air team. Once he was rescued, the man was taken to Son Espases University Hospital for treatment. No further details about his condition have been released at this time.
