Mallorca is much more expensive than this.

Moreover, lately foreigners are not very welcome anymore.

How are the schools in Mallorca
My husband & I have two amazing young boys, currently following an English (UK) Cambridge system & have Spanish as a 2nd language as being half Spanish. We’d like to know they the quality of school systems there & if there are predominantly English/ Internationally recognized schools for them to school in.
Requirements of schools can range from mid to high quality.

LOL I guess I shouldn't comment on another post but HOW does anyone spend 4000 euros on food for two for 1 week anywhere? Please explain.
Z on Dec 31, 2020:
I was there for a week and paid for food alone 4k Euro, two adults.

Probably depends on the quality you expect, I expect good.

If you really want to know if you can afford to live there happily, I recommend going on vacation and see for your self.

Could be a lot cheaper if you plan to make food yourself but that's a poor retirement. Better invest money and retire when you can afford better.

Cheers!
