Do I need a power adapter in Mallorca?
Only if you’re coming from outside the EU. Spain uses the standard European 230V/50Hz Type C and F plugs.
Is tap water safe to drink?
Yes, but many locals still prefer bottled. Bring a filter water bottle to stay sustainable.
Can I wear shorts in Palma in winter?
You can, but locals tend to dress more seasonally. Opt for jeans or trousers.
Final Packing Tip ✨ No matter the season, Mallorca is casual-chic. Focus on light, practical layers, and don’t forget a day bag for island explorations.
