Getting from the airport You can go by bus but it means going into Palma and then changing. It can be a lengthy operation depending upon your time of arrival. The easiest way is by taxi and the approximate cost is 30€ (£22) and it takes around 15-20 minutes. Posting a letter or postcard Cost to the UK and Ireland is 58 centimos (39p) for a standard letter or postcard. Stamps are available from tobacconists and the post office, which is shown on the map. Only use stamps that carry the words "Correos España" because there are some private companies with their own post boxes and the national postal service will not accept their stamps. Buses The following buses run from Magalluf/Palma Nova to Palma: the 104, 105, 106, 107 and 111. The 104 and L109 go to Santa Ponsa and Paguera. Markets The nearest markets to Magalluf and Palma Nova are in Calvia (Monday am), Galatzo (Tuesday am) and Andraitx (Wednesday am). There is a Car Boot sale opposite Aqualand in Magalluf on Saturday morning and there is also a street market in Palma on Saturday morning. Illness If you need to visit a doctor we would recommend you first visit a chemist (farmacia) beause they are well qualified. But if you still have to visit a doctor, there are many private doctors in town - a visit will cost you between 60-75€ - which you can claim back on your insurance. There is also a national health clinic, which is marked on the map. There is some useful Medical Advice to be found by clicking here. It is provided by Dr.James Harris of The British Surgery in Mallorca. Local Golf The nearest golf course is at Poniente and is on the back road from Magalluf to So Ferrer. It is shown on the map. A round costs 78€ (£55) and it is neccessary to pre-book your tee time. The phone number of the course is: (0034) 971 130 148. Alternatively you could get Mallorca Golf Connection to book your tee-times for you - and they will get you a discount.
