This is both a blessing and a curse for the inhabitants, and they are well prepared for it and provide a very well-organized tourist infrastructure.

Catalan and Spanish are the official languages in the Balearic Islands. Most people can speak both languages, although the natives converse amongst themselves in Mallorquín, a sub-dialect of the "Balear" variety of Catalan. In tourist areas, you will frequently come across people speaking English, German, Frenchand other common European languages.
By plane
There are frequent flights from many European cities to Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMIIATA). In particular, many of the discount airlines have daily flights. There are also flights from Menorca and Ibiza, but these are about double the price of the ferries from these islands, and save only about an hour. From the airport, public buses run frequently to central Palma. Many car rental agencies have their offices at the airport. For the frugal, bus 35 costs 2 euro (cash only) from Can Pastilla s...
By boat
You can catch a ferry to Palma de Mallorca from the other Balearic Islands or from several points on the Spanish coast, including Barcelona and Valencia and a super-fast ferry service from Denia (Alicante). You can also catch a ferry to Alcudia from Menorca.
By bus
Many spots are reachable by bus; while transportation between the major holiday resorts is no problem, especially medium- and long-distance services may be as sparse as one bus per week; many bus routes are not served at all on Sundays, in the lower season and during the night. Schedules[dead link]are available online.
By train
There is inland train transportation, but mainly limited to Puerto de Sóller, Manacor, Inca, Sa Pobla and Sineu. Rural halts tend to be far away from town centres, but there are usually bus shuttles available. If you would like a private direct transfer to your resort on the island you could also book a private transfer from one of the many online suppliers.
By car
Cars can be rented in many tourist towns, especially along the coast. Unless in high season, when you should book your rental in advance if you want to ensure getting one, hiring a car directly at the airport without reservation shouldn't be any problem at all. However, as "at desk" rental prices are often far higher than booking in advance it may be prudent to organise it from home before you arrive (and to avoid disappointment during peak periods).
Caves - several caves are open to the public, the 39.533373.33121 Dragon Caves (Coves del Drachin mallorquin) being the most visited

Majorcan cuisine, like that of similar zones in the Mediterranean, is based on bread, vegetables and meat (specially pork), and uses olive oil throughout. A simple popular dinner, especially during the summer, is the Pa amb Oli: Bread with olive oil, tomato, and any available condiments such as cheese and tunafish. Another one is Trampó, the same but with various vegetables instead of bread. Other local dishes include Frit Mallorquí (meat and vegetables cut up in small pieces) and Sopes Mallo...
Finding a restaurant
Palmais most known place for dining, having probably more restaurants than the rest of the island. For out-of-cities dining, head to Algaida: there are several great restaurants around the village. Most restaurants are happy to host children, even infants, but make sure to ask at the more expensive restaurants if they have a specific policy to that effect.
Drinking is allowed if you are 18 or older, as in the rest of Spain. While alcohol is widely sold, pursuant to local laws only bars, restaurants, discothèques and the like are allowed to serve it after 10pm. Spanish people go out quite late and, while in the main tourist resorts you can find people drinking and chatting from early hours, you will n...
