Die Mittagspause dauert länger, Supermärkte wie Mercadona und Lidl bieten andere Produkte als in Deutschland, und das soziale Leben spielt sich oft draußen ab. Als deutscher Auswanderer wirst du schnell merken, dass der Alltag auf der Insel entspannter, aber auch anders organisiert ist. Von den besten Wochenmärkten über deutschsprachige Ärzte bis zu Vereinen und Stammtischen - die deutsche Community auf Mallorca ist groß und gut vernetzt.

Wir zeigen dir, wo du deutsche Produkte kaufen kannst, welche Restaurants und Cafés sich lohnen und wie du Sportangebote, Fitnessstudios und Outdoor-Aktivitäten findest. Außerdem erfährst du alles über lokale Feste und Veranstaltungen, die besten Strände abseits der Touristenmassen und wie du Anschluss an die Expat-Gemeinschaft findest. Damit Mallorca schnell mehr als nur eine Urlaubsinsel für dich wird.
