Plan a Considerate Escape

Plan a Considerate Escape
Practical guidance
Base yourself: Palma suits city energy; coastal towns suit slower stays.
Move wisely: Use buses, walking, cycling, or book a car when needed.
Drive carefully: Mountain roads are narrow, winding, and slow.
Book ahead: Reserve popular stays, dining, and activities in peak periods.
Responsible travel
Protect the coast: Take litter home and avoid fragile dunes.
Respect heritage: Stay on paths and admire dry-stone structures gently.
Support locally: Choose independent makers, markets, and family restaurants.
Share the island: Visit beyond peak hours and beyond the busiest beaches.
