Hi, just wanting to hear anyone's experience of living in Palma?

Tips on international schools & anything else greatly appreciated!

Off, out to Palma in 10 days on a fact-finding mission-again, any pointers on what we should check out & do when we visit would be fab.

TIA.

I lived for a short time on majorca but it was some time ago and didn't have children then. it is a gorgeous island but it wasn't particularly cheap even back then.

i did meet an engliish lady who lived near Palma recently who had two boys in an international school and said her boys loved it and it was significantly cheaper than prep schools here. She did say that they don't really speak much spanish which seems a bit of a shame..

when you are there maybe speak to some english people who live there to really get a feel for it.

Sorry haven't lived there but have been on holiday there and am very Envy at you (maybe) moving there.

It's absolutely beautiful. Lovely city. Lucky lucky you.

Ramblas is lovely. The art gallery and restaurant by the docks is lovely. The cathedral and the museum next to it (sorry, terrible at remembering names!) are beautiful. It's a small enough city to just mosey around and get a feel for it.

Hi sorry if this is a bit random, I found your post and am just wondering how you got on in palma. My husbands company is looking at palma or Lisbon as a base for their tech company. My son will be going into his A level next year. So I am trying to gain info on palma majorca and schools , expat life etc.
Hope you don't mind
Thanks
