Clean beaches? Check. Upmarket resorts? Check. Reliable weather? Check. It has all the hallmarks of a sizzling summer holiday.</p> <p>Resorts big and small can be found along much of the coast, offering everything from tranquil getaways to raucous fun in the sun. Mega yachts, small sailboats and wooden fishing boats ply the waters around the island.</p> <p>But Mallorca is more than just a beach destination. In recent years the island’s capital, Palma, has developed into one of Spain’s most beguiling small cities. Fronted by the beautifully imposing cathedral and royal palace, its narrow cobbled lanes weave away from the seafront into the heart of the old city, where pedestrianised shopping streets, charming squares, ancient courtyards and chic bars attract locals and foreigners alike. As well as its vibrant nightlife, Palma boasts a strong arts scene.</p> <p>Excellent food abounds in Mallorca. Seafood predominates in coastal resorts, while regional dishes are served in traditional restaurants throughout the island. The restaurant scene is thriving in Palma, where foodies can quaff anything from local cuisine to Japanese fare.</p> <p>Head inland and a completely different (and much less touristy) picture of Mallorca emerges. Traditional villages lie scattered across the countryside, sheep bells tinkle, white almond blossom floats in the air and a rural tranquillity prevails.</p> <p>The central plain is the agricultural heart of the island, with vineyards, sleepy hamlets and weekly markets. Along the west coast, the great Sierra de Tramuntana mountains, covered in pine forests, tower over the plains, their sharp cliffs looming large above the deep blue sea. It’s the Spain of yesteryear and it should not be missed.</p><div class="keyfacts"> <div class="key-icon"></div> <h4>Key facts</h4> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Area:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>3,640 sq km (1,405 sq miles).</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Population:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>882,964 (INE value 2016).</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Population density:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>236.1 per sq km.</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Capital:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>Palma de Mallorca.</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Government:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>Parliamentary monarchy since 1978.</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Head of state:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>King Felipe VI since 2014.</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Head of government:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy since 2011.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="travel_advice"> <div class="advice-icon"></div> <h4>Travel Advice</h4><h2 id="before-you-travel">Before you travel</h2> <p>If you are planning to travel to Spain through France, check the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/france">travel advice for France</a> before you start your journey. </p> <p>If you are planning to travel to Spain through Gibraltar, check the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/gibraltar">travel advice for Gibraltar</a> before you start your journey. </p> <p>No travel can be guaranteed safe.

Follow the advice of police and local authorities.</p> <p>While most demonstrations are peaceful, there is a risk of unrest or violence.

Thieves use distraction techniques and often work in teams. Take care of your passports, money and personal belongings, particularly when collecting or checking in luggage at the airport, and while arranging car hire.</p> <p>Do not carry all your valuables in one place. Keep a copy of the photo page of your passport somewhere safe.</p> <p>Make sure your accommodation has adequate security. Keep all doors and windows locked. If you’re concerned about the security of your accommodation, speak to your travel operator or the property owner.</p> <h3 id="vehicle-crime">Vehicle crime</h3> <p>‘Highway pirates’ target foreign-registered and hire cars, especially those towing caravans. They may flag you down, claiming there is something wrong with your car or that you have damaged theirs. If you decide to stop to check the condition of a vehicle, stop in a public area with lights, such as a service station. Be wary of anyone offering help.</p> <p>When driving, be wary of approaches from people posing as plainclothes police in unmarked cars. In all traffic-related matters, police officers will usually be in uniform.</p> <p>Unmarked police vehicles have a flashing electronic sign on the rear window saying ‘Policía’ or ‘Guardia Civil’. Genuine police will only ask you to show vehicle documents – not to hand over your bag or wallet.</p> <h3 id="attacks-and-sexual-assault">Attacks and sexual assault</h3> <p>Attacks, including sexual assaults, are rare but do occur.

Alcohol and drugs can reduce your vigilance, making you less in control. If you drink, know your limit. Drinks served in bars in Spain are often stronger than those in the UK.</p> <h3 id="scams">Scams</h3> <p>Thieves posing as police officers may ask to see your wallet, claiming they need to see it for identification. Genuine police officers will ask to see ID but will not ask for wallets or purses. All police officers, including those in plain clothes, carry official ID.</p> <h3 id="timeshares-and-holiday-clubs">Timeshares and holiday clubs</h3> <p>Be cautious if you are planning to buy or sell a timeshare.

This includes the Guardia Civil and national, regional and local police forces. The police have the right to hold you at a police station until they have confirmed your identity.</p> <p>Ignoring direct requests of a police officer can be considered as ‘disobedience’, which is a criminal offence.</p> <p>Hotels, tourist accommodation and car rental companies have a legal duty to register passport and other details of tourists who check in or collect a vehicle.</p> <p>When checking in to your accommodation, wait until hotel staff have registered your passport details, or taken a copy of your passport. Do not leave your passport at reception to collect later.</p> <p>You may need to show ID when buying goods with credit or debit cards. Some shops will accept your driving licence or a copy of your passport, but some may ask for your passport.</p> <h3 id="alcohol-laws-and-bans">Alcohol laws and bans</h3> <p>It’s illegal to drink alcohol in the street in some areas of Spain. You can get an on-the-spot fine. There are strict controls on drinking and sexual activity in public places, including on beaches.</p> <h3 id="alcohol-laws-in-the-balearic-islands">Alcohol laws in the Balearic Islands</h3> <p>Local laws limit the sale and availability of alcohol in areas of some resorts on the Balearic Islands, including:</p> <ul> <li>Magaluf (Calvià), Mallorca</li> <li>Playa de Palma, Mallorca</li> <li>San Antonio (San Antoni de Portmany), Ibiza</li> </ul> <p>This bans:</p> <ul> <li>happy hours</li> <li>open bars (such as ‘all you can drink in one hour’ offers)</li> <li>the sale of alcohol from vending machines</li> <li>self-service alcohol dispensers</li> <li>organising pub crawls and party boat trips</li> <li>‘off-licence’ sales between 9:30pm and 8am</li> </ul> <p>Hotels and other establishments will evict you if you behave dangerously on balconies. You could also get a fine.</p> <h3 id="illegal-drugs-and-prison-sentences">Illegal drugs and prison sentences</h3> <p>Possession of even a small quantity of drugs can lead to arrest and detention. Possession of large quantities will usually result in prosecution and a prison sentence.</p> <h3 id="illegal-commercial-parties-in-villas-and-private-homes">Illegal commercial parties in villas and private homes</h3> <p>There have been a number of serious accidents involving people attending illegal commercially promoted parties in villas and private homes on the islands of Ibiza and Mallorca.</p> <p>Licensed clubs and bars have to meet safety and security standards, including emergency exits and capacity limits, and have trained, licensed security staff. Illegal commercial parties may not meet these standards. Take care of your belongings, make sure you know where emergency exits are and do not take unnecessary risks.</p> <p>You may get a fine for attending illegal commercially promoted parties.</p> <h3 id="dress-code">Dress code</h3> <p>In some parts of Spain it’s illegal to be in the street wearing only a bikini or swimming shorts. Being bare-chested is also illegal in some areas in Spain. You could be fined if you’re caught wearing swimwear on the seafront promenade or adjacent streets.</p> <p>For security reasons, some public authorities in Spain do not allow the burka or niqab to be worn in their buildings. If you visit town council buildings wearing a burka or niqab, you may be asked to remove it while inside.</p> <h3 id="changing-money">Changing money</h3> <p>Always use official money exchange offices or banks because unofficial money changers may give you counterfeit money. Possession or use of counterfeit money is considered a serious crime in Spain and may lead to prosecution.</p> <h3 id="lgbt">LGBT+</h3> <p>Spain is a generally tolerant and progressive place for LGBT+ travellers. There are active LGBT+ communities and social venues, particularly in big cities. Same-sex marriage is legal. Transgender people can register under their preferred sex in public documents such as birth certificates, identity cards and passports without undergoing prior gender reassignment surgery.</p> <p>Read more <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/lesbian-gay-bisexual-and-transgender-foreign-travel-advice">advice for LGBT+ travellers</a>.</p> <h2 id="outdoor-activities-and-adventure-tourism">Outdoor activities and adventure tourism</h2> <h3 id="falls-from-height">Falls from height</h3> <p>There have been a number of serious accidents, some fatal, involving British nationals falling from height, including from balconies.</p> <p>Do not take unnecessary risks around balconies or other high places, particularly if you’re under the influence of drink or drugs. If you are staying in a room with a balcony, follow the safety advice at the hotel or apartment, and watch out for friends who may be at risk.</p> <p>In some regions you may be fined or evicted from your hotel if you are found to be behaving irresponsibly around balconies. Your travel insurance may not cover you for incidents that take place on a balcony or if you were under the influence of drink or drugs when the incident happened.</p> <h3 id="festivals-concerts-and-processions">Festivals, concerts and processions</h3> <p>Many large events and public processions are held in Spain each year. Follow the advice of police and local authorities when attending events.</p> <p>Take care of your valuables if attending a festival or large concert. See the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/festival-travel-checklist">festival travel checklist</a> for more advice.</p> <h3 id="swimming-and-beaches">Swimming and beaches</h3> <p>Every year, people drown in the sea and in swimming pools in Spain. Always supervise children, even if they can swim or there is a lifeguard present.</p> <p>Take care when swimming in the sea. Some beaches, especially around Spanish islands, may have strong undercurrents.</p> <p>Hidden rocks or shallow depths can cause serious injury or death. Do not dive into unknown water and do not swim at beaches where a river runs into the sea.</p> <p>Many beaches have a flag system. Make sure you understand the system and follow any warnings (a red flag means you must not enter the water). Take extra care and get local knowledge if there are no lifeguards, flags or signs.</p> <p>If you are walking along unmonitored beaches, be aware that waves can come in further than expected and have strong undertows.</p> <p>See further tips on <a rel="external" href="https://www.abta.com/tips-and-advice/staying-safe-on-holiday/swim-safe">ABTA’s swim safe pages</a> and <a rel="external" href="https://www.rlss.org.uk/safety-on-holiday">Water Safety on Holiday</a> from the Royal Life Saving Society. </p> <p>Follow local advice if jellyfish are present.</p> <h3 id="hill-walking-skiing-and-mountain-activities">Hill walking, skiing and mountain activities</h3> <p>Temperatures in some parts of Spain can change very quickly.

If you still have a paper driving licence, you may need to <a href="https://www.gov.uk/exchange-paper-driving-licence">update it to a photocard licence</a>. Provisional licences are not valid for driving in Spain.</p> <p>To drive a car or a motorcycle over 125cc in Spain you must be 18 years of age or above, and at least 16 years old to ride a motorcycle up to 125cc.

Incorrect installation of a child seat or not wearing a seatbelt can be considered a serious offence and met with fines. </p> <p>It is illegal to use a mobile phone when driving, even if you have pulled over to the side of the road. You must be completely away from the road. Using an earpiece is also illegal. Only completely hands-free units are allowed.</p> <h3 id="low-emission-zones">Low emission zones</h3> <p>Some inner-city areas in Spain have introduced permanent low emission zones (‘Zonas de bajas emisiones’ – ZBE) where Spanish vehicles must meet specific exhaust emission standards and display an air pollution sticker.
