Getting there
Direct flights to Ibiza from the UK; ferry from Ibiza city to Formentera.

Bottle of beer from 80p, camera film £2.50, moderate meal with wine for two £10, litre of petrol 45p, short taxi ride £5. Costs will vary.
Weather

Time difference
One hour ahead of the UK.
International dialling code from the UK
00 34 971.
Voltage
220V or sometimes 125V, so check before you plug anything in (sockets should be labelled). Plugs are two-pronged so you'll need an adapter for UK appliances.
Opening hours
Clubs and bars never seem to close. Local shops open 9am-1pm and 4.30pm-7.30pm, although bigger shops and general stores often stay open over lunch.
Health — before you go
No jabs necessary, but take an EHIC form (available from UK post offices) so you can claim free treatment if you are taken ill.
Health — when you are there
The main risks are sunburn and hangovers, so take the usual precautions. Drink bottled water to be on the safe side.
Warnings
Beware of the usual pickpockets and bag-snatchers that you find in any tourist area. Drug laws have been tightened up in the past decade and the only drug which is legal is cannabis in tiny amounts for personal use.

National emergency number is 091. The British Embassy, Calle de Fernando el Santo 16, 28010 Madrid. Tel (00 34) 91 700 8200. Also at Plaza Mayor 3D, 07002 Palma de Majorca. Tel (00 34) 971 71 24.

Pets
Spain is part of the Pet Travel Scheme so you can take a pet if it has all the correct paperwork. This can take some time to arrange — check with your vet for details.
Tipping
Service charges are included in restaurants, so tipping is a personal choice: 5% is average.
