Important: The emergency number 112 has multilingual operators — if you don't speak Spanish, say "English, please" or "German, please". In many cases, German is facilitated, as German-speaking personnel work in the emergency services on Mallorca.
Achtung
Memorize at least "Socorro!" (Help!) and "Llame a una ambulancia!" (Call an ambulance!). In a real emergency, you won't think of anything else.
