Hi everyone, I'll be in Palmanova in August and I'm looking for a car to rent.

Since I know there are a lot of highways, I don't want to rent a tiny car like a Toyota Aygo, Kia Picanto, Fiat Panda, etc., but I also don't want a huge car. I'm undecided between a small car like a C3, Opel Corsa, or Peugeot 208, which are petrol-powered, or a slightly larger hybrid car to save fuel, like a Renault Symbioz, Kia Sportage Drive, etc.

Do you have any suggestions? There seems to be parking available where I'm staying, so I just have to worry about getting to the beach, etc.

Looking for passengers from Ryanair FR8551 (Palma de Mallorca → Memmingen) – 29 June 2026

I’m trying to find anyone who was on Ryanair flight FR8551 from Palma de Mallorca (PMI) to Memmingen (FMM) on 29 June 2026.

Around 22:10, while we were waiting at the gate, Ryanair staff informed us that the flight had been delayed until the following day. The Ryanair app also showed that the flight had been delayed to 30 June, so we left the airport and paid for a hotel.

The following morning, our booking had disappeared from the Ryanair app, and Ryanair told us the flight had actually departed during the night. We had to buy new tickets to get home.

Did anyone else experience the same situation or receive the same information at the gate? If you were on this flight, I’d really appreciate it if you could reply here or send me a private message.

I’m only trying to understand what happened and whether other passengers experienced the same issue.

Thank you!

Its my first time in mallorca. Me and my girlfriend are staying in an airbnb in Palma. Mallorca is amazing we are truly in love with Palma, the vibes and the 99% of the island in general. We decided to give magaluf/shagaluf a visit. Now i was fully aware that it’s a location for english lads on a holiday but holy shit. It’s the most dystopian uncomfortable place i think I’ve ever been to. It looks like a hollywood set. Everything is fake all the buildings look empty the only place thats actually full is the party strip. Its was a very surreal experience. All the stores have tired employees with eye rings working 24/7 in very bright dazzling stores just selling random stuff. What was disturbing is the amount of baby dolls that every place sells. It was about 85% blokes with the same haircuts and 15% girls that fix their mini skirt dresses every chance they get so that their asscheeks don’t fall out. We later on decided to go to BCM club. BCM is a decent nightclub cant complain, but other than that over all horrible experience but memorable to say the least. I wanted to make this post to people maybe considering a lads Holiday or visiting the place and i would just say rather go to ibiza or malta or something or just generally quality clubs. If you and the lads are into horrible food options, 1000 club promoters and girls that are easy and then later on regret their decisions at a certain age then go for it. If not then stay away or just visit BCM.

We’re visiting as a family of 4 with 2 young kids. Will be going out for lunches for the duration of our stay. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations?

Hello I've been living in Palma for 2 months now, for a seasonal job but I sadly don't speak spanish. I would love to make some connections here, have people to go to the beach with or just meet up and talk a little, it can get lonely sometimes. Does anyone have recommendations on how to meet people here? I've tried meetup but haven't found anything that really speaks to me, plus most the events are listed in spanish. And the mallorca meet app seems to not be for me, as I am not looking to date. Thank you! 😊

Hi everyone,

I’m staying in Pollença at the minute, but unfortunately I failed to bring enough of my prescription medication with me from the UK. The medication is a low dose of amitriptyline (for nerve pain), and I’m missing about 3 days worth. I was wondering if any pharmacy here would be able to help me, or what I would have to do in order to possibly obtain some? Thank you.😊

Hi I’m with my Family in Mallorca. We’re looking for some nice beaches around the island. We got a finca in like the middle of the island so we can go everywhere easily.

I’m looking for nice beaches not to touristy where you could park your car nicely, have sand and maybe a bit of cliff jumping. Also being able to rent jetskis cheaply or other boat activities like the banana thing if you understand me. Also we only speak English so maybe somewhere where you can order food in English would be nice.

Probably only the tourist beaches are like that but if you know any hidden gems or so please let me know.

Thanks

Edit:

I read that now is peak season and everywhere is going to be full but maybe somewhere is a hidden gem that’s not completely overloaded.

Hey all....want a place for me and my wife to get a massage. Is this place ok or is it another type of service? Looked ok from the outside.

Hey guys,

Group of 8 American friends, all about 23, are making a trip in early September from a Monday to Friday. Our two bookending weekends will be in Madrid and Barcelona so we don’t need a crazy club experience as we will do that there. However, we are looking for the following:

Decent nightlife with bars that can be open late if we wish, maybe a day trip to a beach club on one day, beaches where we can lounge and drink on our own, good food.

We will likely rent a car if that makes things easier. Not sure where to stay right now….seems like Palma, Soller, Cala d’Or are my options? Open to others too. Happy to answer any other questions! Thank you so much.

Does anyone know of anywhere to watch the England game tomorrow? It starts at 2am, should be over at 4am if no extra time, by almost 5am if it goes to extra time.

I’m based in Can Pastilla so if anyone knows anywhere close to there that would be really helpful.

Hey everyone, I will be in Mallorca next week and we're planning on doing a light hike one day (probably around Alcudia), but I don't want to bring hiking/sports shoes just for one day in a small cabin luggage.
Does anyone know if there's a way to rent hiking shoes anywhere on the island ?
Thanks!

I will be coming to Mallorca at the end of July (yay!) and renting a car. We want to spend one of our days exploring the towns in the mountain region (we are staying in cala d’or area). I’m kind of worried about parking as it seems to fill up quickly from what I’ve read. I don’t mind paying to park or having to walk a bit.
My plan is to go to Deia early in the morning as that is where parking seems to be the worst, but will we be ok heading into the other towns midday? Just don’t want to be driving around stressed and trying to find parking. Any advice?

How easy is it to buy vapes/cigarettes in Palma, Mallorca for a 16 year old boy? If it’s even possible.

Hi There,

I’m in magaluf with some mates and had something not so pleasant happen last night. I needed a piss and was quite drunk so just went down one of the back alleys on the strip and halfway through the piss this Asian lady comes and starts shouting at me so obviously I start to move but then I get water chucked on me by her. I then proceeded to be soaked and stunk. Idk if it was sewage water or what but it was disgusting I had to go back to room and shower twice and I think I’m gonna throw them clothes away now.

Has this happened before to anyone?

How often are extreme uv levels recorded in Mallorca? I went last week and apple weather (they are quite shocking with their forecasts) showed uv 11 last weekend, and is the area around Capdepera and Cala ratjada the coolest part of Mallorca outside of the mountains

Hi everyone,

I had been meaning to travel up to Alcudia beach today before I fly home this evening. I've heard a lot of good things.

We have been told the beach may be red flag, as a few over that way currently are. Is anybody able to confirm this?

It's a real shame if so but what can ya do.

Hi friends, going on a little girls trip to mallorca, we’re in our 20s, there’s two of us. We were looking to stay in Cala d’or due to the really nice beaches, but wondering if we should stay in palma or another area instead?

We want to wake up and go to the beach daily, and explore the island. We’ll have a rental car, but worried if we drive to palma in the evening for dinners , will it be difficult to drive back at night? We aren’t really into partying but still want a lively spot and good restaurants.

Lastly, if you can recommend hotels that would be great. Looked at hotel rocamarina as its relatively cheap in the area but havent seen too many reviews

Hello everybody, I'll be visiting Mallorca with my girlfriend in a couple of weeks and I'm looking for suggestions on what to do by locals.

Both of us speak Spanish (I'm not so good in writing that's why here I'm using english), we will have a car, and we like to do hiking, good local food, less touristic beaches.

So what spots do you recommend?

Restaurants that are not mainstream (and possibly not expensive)?

Some beaches were we will not be invaded by other tourists?

Thanks!
