I love the duty free in Palma Airport, makes the tat we sell in the UK Duty free look like what it is tasteless. Excellent review wonderful country and people. Families should try the north part of the Island, try renting a villa. But be warned the locals love to scratch cars and play bumper cars and driving in some parts in very dangerous when off the beaten track.
Be warned the locals do not speak Spanish. There is a very proud Catalan culture on the island. Do not do what I did and spend months perfecting Spanish only to realise these are a very independent people from the Spanish though it seemed to me 90% of visitors are from the Spanish main land
I advise trying to avoid the topless sand sea and sex brit troops who have given the locals the local joke name "Majorca" in Catalan the two L's of Mallorca make J. and the Spanish always refer to the island maJorca when referring to the brit pack often in a cockney accent.
