Answer

How can I pay in Mallorca if my bank card is blocked or missing?

If your main card is unavailable, check whether you have a second card from another provider, a mobile wallet, or access to a temporary transfer from someone you trust. A small cash reserve can also help cover basic expenses for a short time. For longer trips, it is wise to keep payment options separated so one problem does not leave you stranded.
