The Balearic Islands corridor

Moving to Balearic Islands
— what we know about it
The Balearic Islands are the corridor where ferry logistics matter most. Customs paperwork is cleared at the Spanish mainland port (Barcelona or Valencia); the goods then cross to the islands by ferry. We coordinate the ferry booking and the island-side delivery; the additional handling is reflected in the move quote.
Mallorca is the largest and most-developed Balearic — Palma de Mallorca (the capital, with the British community concentrated in Santa Catalina, Son Espanyolet, and the surrounding districts), the Sóller/Deià valley (Tramuntana mountain country with the Robert Graves heritage), the Pollensa and Alcúdia coast (north Mallorca with a substantial UK community), and the Calvià coast (Magaluf, Palmanova, Santa Ponsa — mass-market resort).
Ibiza is smaller and more lifestyle-driven — Ibiza Town with the Dalt Vila listed citadel, Santa Eulalia, San Antonio, Es Cubells, the inland villages of Sant Joan and Sant Carles. The British community on Ibiza is mid-affluence creative-and-lifestyle. Menorca is the quietest island — Mahón (Maó), Ciutadella, the Camí de Cavalls coastal-path country.
Balearic paperwork follows standard Spanish protocols at the Subdelegación del Gobierno in Palma de Mallorca (covers all Balearic provinces) or via the smaller Subdelegación in Mahón for Menorca. Catalan-Balearic dialect (Mallorquí, Eivissenc, Menorquí) is the local language; official Spanish-government paperwork remains in Castilian.
