Guide: When Honking on Mallorca Is Allowed — and When It Causes Trouble

Answer

How should you drive on Mallorca's mountain roads without using the horn too much?

On narrow mountain roads in Mallorca, especially in the Tramuntana, it is better to drive slowly and stay alert than to rely on the horn. If visibility is poor around a blind bend, headlights or flash signals may be more appropriate than honking. Careful speed and clear driving usually reduce the need for any warning at all.
