Opening Hours
Spanish opening hours differ significantly from German ones — the Siesta is not yet a dying tradition in Mallorca.

💡 Tipp
Get used to the Spanish rhythm: Lunch from 1:30 p.m., dinner from 8:30 p.m. If you sit in a restaurant at 6 p.m., you'll sit alone — and get the leftovers instead of fresh cuisine.
