by Heavens-Mirror When i was staying in Majorca my hotel was in Palma Nova, i didnt get bitten by any mosquitoes in the area of Palma Nova & Magaluf but do be aware of them when if you are staying in Alcudia or visiting Alcudia for the day. They are everywhere & i had a friend who went & was covered in bites. Make sure you get a good insect repellent which can be bought from Boots.

by sourbugger When hiring a car remember that cycling is extrememly popular on the Island and with a lack of dedicated cycle paths you can find cyclists flying round hairpin bends at you at any time. Most of those who are clad in skin-tight Lyrca are well experienced and keep well to their side of the road, but you only need an inexperienced rider will full panniers to result in a nasty mess.

 Beware by Heavens-Mirror Majorca is a very safe place but you must be aware of any pick pocketers, whilst i was there i heard about a young girl getting her purse snatched off a man who was trying to sell her some sovernirs especially flowers. You have to be very careful because they are quick & can easily do it without you realising whats happened.

Be careful with the taxi drivers, especially in S'Arenal at night. Although they are obliged to use taximeters, some don't (and some do, but have a non-smoking sticker or something like that in front of the display, so you can't see, what you have to pay). So demand that they use the taximeter, at least negotiate with them the price before you get in. Leave a Comment

Never mind how thirsty you are, do not buy from the vendors selling refreshments at the beach! Just ignore them, because if you look interested they will open a can and you'll have to pay for it exorbitant prices. It is also useless to explain them, that you won't buy the drink. If it is open, you have to pay, because otherwise they scream around and charge you some crimes.... Leave a Comment

Please beware of the gypsy women rose sellers in the gardens of the Royal Palace. They come up to you and put a rose on to your clothing and when you get your bag or wallet out to pay for it a crowd of them gather around you to distract you while your wallet or bag is picked. I have seen this done to tourists on a number of occassions. Please be aware and if they put a rose on your clothing don't stop just take the rose of and throw it on the ground. Leave a Comment

 Don't you give me the finger. by sourbugger The seaside tradition of the rude or downright mucky postcard lives on in Majorca. After several sangreias, it may seem like a laugh to send nice old kindly Uncle Cyril a postcard of a three-breasted Spanish madonna with an unfeasibly large and hairy 'poodle' or nice Aunt Edna who has lived all her life in a small conservative village in Hampshire a postcard of a macho hunk balancing between two chairs with a large weight hanging off his todger - but they may not see the funny side when it pops (or plops) through the letterbox (oh er Misses !) Trust me on this one. Leave a Comment

by GrantBoone Most of the accomodation around Palma Nova is on a hill overlooking the resort. Fine when youre going INTO town, but not so good in 95 degree sun on at 2pm and your carrying all your beach gear on your way back to your hotel !! Leave a Comment
