Miscellaneous in Mallorca

Books, art, bargains and neighbourhood help on the island

Good to know

German-language books are rare in Mallorca. In this section you will often find pre-owned books from residents passing on their reading material.

Sometimes things do not fit into any category – and that is exactly what our Miscellaneous section is for. Here you will find everything in Mallorca that does not belong elsewhere: books and media, arts and crafts, neighbourhood help, special finds and the classic bargain bin.

On an island like Mallorca, where people from many countries live together, the most creative offers and requests emerge. From German-language books that are hard to find on the island, to handcrafted artwork by local artists, to neighbourly help – this section reflects the diversity of the island community.

The bargain corner is also a popular destination: remainders, special offers and unusual items that do not fit elsewhere. And if you have lost or found something, this is the right place too.
