SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE TRIP
The weather on the island, at this time of the year, is still warm (around 18-24 ºC) but can also vary from one day to the next one. According to weather forecasts we might get some rain during the week, so we recommend you to bring comfortable clothes and shoes and some of them to be waterproof.
Before travelling to the island, you must either have a Green Pass with a QR confirming that you’ve been vaccinated, or you have to fill in the COVID-10 form in the attached link which will provide you with a QR to enter the island:

If you haven’t been vaccinated nor have suffered COVID, you should have a Diagnostic test for active COVID-19 infection with a negative result done within 72 hours prior to arrival or a rapid antigen test 48 hours before arrival.
In case the local authorities find that the documents provided are not sufficient you might be requested to have an antigen test done in the first 48 hours from arrival.
Concerning your departures, and in order to help you with all the COVID-19 measures in your country/region, we have contacted two clinics:
Clínica Mallorca at C/ Marbella nº 61, located very close to the airport. The cost of the PCR is 95 euros and the antigen test 30. Tests are run daily between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the result is sent by email using a QR in Spanish and English 24 h after the test. Antigen tests are run also daily between 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and you get the results at the clinic 15 minutes after the test, and they’ll provide you with a certificate.
Besalduch Clinic has two centers: one in PALMA, C/ Blanquerna, 47. Tel. 971 718 317 and one in PORTALS NOUS, Plza. Del Alcazar, 3, local 5.
We ask that each and every one of you be informed of the necessary requirements that are demanded for your return after the trip and that you inform us upon your arrival, which exact day you should carry out the pcr if necessary.
For all those who arrive on Sunday the 3rd, Aina will be picking you up at the airport and taking you to the “hotel” in Valldemossa, or will contact you to let you know about the taxi services.
Those of you that arrive on Monday will have to take a taxi from the airport to Valldemossa.
