The Rhythm of the Island
Although Palma is an active city, life in general has a more relaxed pace.Don't stress if the service is slower than other places.
Maximum Sun Protection
The sun is very strong on the island, even on cloudy days.The use of sunscreen, hat and sunglasses is essential.

As in any major tourist destination, keep an eye on your belongings in busy areas such as downtown, the airport and beaches.
Common Scams
Be careful with 'trileros' (ball game) and other street scams in very touristy areas.
