Insider timing tips

- •While summer is popular, the sea remains warm enough for swimming well into October.
- •Winter months (January-March) see many smaller, family-run businesses close, particularly in less tourist-centric towns.
- •Mallorca experiences a 'second summer' in September and early October, with warm seas and fewer school-holiday crowds than August.
