Coins: 1,2,5,10,20 and 50 cents, and coins of 1 and 2 Euros. Notes: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. All major credit cards are accepted and can be used to withdraw money from cash machines. Most credit card purchases in shops require a photo I.D. Customs and immigration All EU members require a passport or identity card to travel to Mallorca. Visas are not required. All other nationalities require passport and visas and should contact their local Spanish Tourist Office for further information.

The personal allowance must not exceed ?175.00. Travellers under 17 years of age are not entitled to tobacco and alcohol allowances. It goes without saying that drugs, firearms, ammunition, offensive weapons, obscene material and unlicensed animals are not permitted.

C/Sant Gaiet?, 3 , Palma Tel: 971 176262. Driving As with the majority of Europe except Great Britain, drivers drive on the right hand side of the road. Maximum speed on the motorways is 120 kph. Seat belts must be worn in front seats at all times, and in rear seats where fitted. Petrol Stations ? Many Mallorcan filling stations are not self service. If they are not just sit in your car and ensure the petrol cap is off, and they will do the rest. To fill your car up say ?Lleno por favor?. Petrol is sold as follows: Normal (92 octane), Super 97, Unleaded (95 or 98 octane) and Diesel. The attendant will expect a tip of between 30-50 cents for their efforts. Please switch off lights and disengage mobile phones. Random breath testing - 0 limit is 50 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath. Electricity The power supply in Mallorca is 220-225 volts, requiring a 2-round-pin style plug. Fines There has been a big increase in maximum fines for various offences in the Balearics in recent years; it may be beneficial taking note of the following: Fines that carry a maximum of 300 euros: - Littering - cigarette ends, chewing gum and paper - Spitting, urinating or worse in public places - Pulling down public notices Fines that carry a maximum of 900 euros: - Washing your car on a public highway - Painting graffiti Fines that carry a maximum of 1800 euros: - Using soap or shampoo in the sea or public showers - Destroying or damaging public graffiti - Having a bonfire on the beach Health Nationals within the EU and certain other countries can get medical treatment in Spain with the relevant documentation, e.g. for British visitors form E111, although private medical insurance is still advised and is essential for all other visitors. Form E111 If British and planning on staying in Spain for longer than three months and don?t have private international medical insurance cover, ensure you bring Form E111 from the UK. This will entitle you, your spouse (or unmarried partner if you have children together), and your children up to the age of 16, or 19 if they are still in full time education, to free emergency health care during your stay. In a reciprocal EU agreement, you will be eligible to free or reduced-cost emergency treatment on production of a valid Form E111 if you become ill during your stay. Only state-provided emergency treatment is covered, and you will receive treatment on the same terms as nationals of the country you are visiting. Beware however that State-provided treatment may not cover all of the things that you would expect to receive free of charge from the NHS. If a UK resident, the E111 form free and available in any main post office or travel agent. Complete the application form at the back of the booklet as well as form E111 itself, following the instructions in the booklet. The completed form should be taken to the post office where the form E111 will be stamped, signed and returned to you. Keep it safe, preferably with your passport, and carry it with you when traveling within the Spain, or in fact anywhere within the EU. The E111 remains valid indefinitely, so long as you remain a resident of the UK. Take 2 copies of your E111 form, keeping one with the original, the other as a back up. This is important in Spain as a photocopy is required as well as your original E111. You will be given back your E111 but the photocopy will be kept. In some countries the original E111 may be kept by the authorities. Dental treatment is not covered under the Spanish state system. Non-Emergency Treatment in Spain: Form E112 For pre-existing conditions and any ongoing treatment, Form E111 will not cover you. For this, you will need Form E112 which is not issued automatically but requires authorisation from the Department of Health. We recommend you speak with your doctor before leaving home, or contact the Department of Health - International Branch Tel: +44 (0)20 7210 4850 Dental Services ? Dental treatment should be covered by private medical insurance. A list of dentists (dentistas) can be found in the yellow pages of the telephone directory. Drugs ? Prescription and non-prescription drugs and medicines are available from pharmacies (farmcias), distinguishable by the large green cross. Language There are two official languages here on the Island: Castellano or Castilian which is the most common language spoken in mainland Spain, and Catal?n or Mallorqu?n which is the language of the local people. Most islanders are at least bilingual. With the well-established tourist industry here in the Balearics both English and German are also spoken in many bars, restaurants and shops. |

| Opening Hours
Large department stores, supermarkets and shops in tourist resorts generally open all day Monday-Saturday, from 10.00 to 22.00, especially around the main summer months. Other shops, and offices in general will run from around 09.00 through to 20.00, with a lunch break from 14.00-17.00. Banks in general open from 09.30-14.00. Bars, pubs and clubs are usually open almost all week until 03.00 or 04.00 hours, and at weekends often until 06.00! Personal SafetyMallorca is still one of the most safe areas in Europe , with little major crime reported on an annual basis. One of the contributing reasons is the strong presence of police on the Island , particularly when the King of Spain or his family are in residence. That said, petty crime is inevitable due to the obvious wealth on the Island , particularly from immigrants in the form of pickpockets and hand bag snatchers. To help prevent crime we recommend the following: • do not carry more cash than you need • do not leave valuables unattended • avoid walking alone in dark alleys at night • beware of pickpockets in markets, tourist attractions, crowded places and supermarket car parks. • Dial 112 if in need of help or to report any suspicious occurrence. Should you be the victim of petty crime you must report it to your local police station. They will complete a ?Denuncia? Form in order for you to make a claim against your insurance PostPost offices are generally open Monday-Friday, 09.00 ? 14.00, but some also open in the afternoon and on Saturday morning. The main post office can be found in Palma just off the Borne (down from the main McDonalds) at C/de Constitució 5 and is open Monday-Friday 08.30 ? 20.30 and Saturday 09.00-14.00.

SchoolsWith many younger families coming to live in Spain the choice of schooling is an important one. There are basically two options apart from the obvious boarding school in your home country: 1. The Spanish state school system 2. An International school The choice between an ?international' education and the Spanish state system is a matter of personal taste. One factor to consider is that children attending a local state school will be taught totally in Castilian Spanish, or Catalan, therefore younger children find it much easier to adapt than those approaching or within the secondary school age. It is quite likely, particularly in Mallorca , that there will be other foreigners in the school to help translate, and to assist with the initial language transition. Another thing to thing to remember is that it is also easier to fully integrate within the local Spanish society if going to a local school. Click here for a list of international schools.
