That was a really excellent video! You covered so much in it and it must have taken ages to research everything. You have such a huge knowledge of living in Mallorca and it’s great that you share it so helpfully here. I love Lidl too! It will soon be my corner shop here in the UK. I think it opens next month .. just a few minutes walk from home! Such good value! I don’t think I could ever afford to live in Mallorca. I don’t earn enough to pay the rent there, let alone live! 😀 I love visiting the island though and will continue to enjoy that. Loved seeing so many different places and locations in this video. Hope you get your intermodal card soon!

Thanks Louise. Mind you, I don't think I'll ever live in a house again if I stay living here. I think 99% of us residents live in glorified holiday apartments, and when we go back to the UK, seeing things like stairs and gardens is like luxury we will never have!

😂 I'm really sorry about your potato wedges!! 😂 I'm hoping the Menu del Día prices don't go up when the season starts, but let's see. It's normally such good value! The rental prices can be even more expensive than this too. I was underplaying some of the prices. A seafront property can be double I quoted!

Another great watch. I noticed another user mentioning the comparison of prices to South East England, to which I completely agree. I have always lived in the South East and it is by far the most expensive region within the UK (minus London of course) I actually found housing and general living to be considerably cheaper in Mallorca. I would love to know more with regards to how work and freelancing is abroad. Thanks again.
