• The people in Mallorca are Catalan and not Castilian (or Spanish). Avoid jokes about it that could be construed as supporting the government of Madrid.
• Italian troops were stationed in Mallorca during the 1930s. The Franco regime thus baptized a road and erected monuments in their honor. However, the local populations have been less hospitable and there is still some residual resentment. If your Italian origin comes up during the conversation, don't be surprised at an abrupt interruption.

In most areas of Palma it is safe to walk around even after dark. Visitors should refrain from wandering alone at night in the empty and narrow streets of the old city and El Terrain. The latter is the homosexual area of ​​the city and can be quite seedy; it is also known for attracting drug users.

Keep all valuables out of sight, such as wallets and purses, or well hidden in pockets. Any excess cash, cards, passports and documents of value are best left at the hotel for added security. It is always best to take a taxi late at night, especially if you are alone. Use your common sense to stay safe.
