Destination-specific money tips
- •Car rental is highly recommended for exploring the island beyond Palma, but book in advance, especially during peak season.
- •While credit cards are widely accepted, smaller rural shops or beachside chiringuitos might prefer cash.
- •Be aware of parking fees in popular towns and beaches; they can add up quickly.
- •Tapas hopping can be a cost-effective way to sample local food, but be mindful of ordering too many dishes at once.
- •The cost of 'paella' can vary significantly; look for restaurants offering it as a daily special for better value.
