Answer

What should you do if someone starts choking during a meal in Mallorca?

Call 112 immediately if the person cannot breathe, speak, or cough effectively. While waiting for help, use the first-aid steps you know for a blocked airway, but avoid random actions that could make things worse. If you are not trained, it is better to act calmly and get emergency help fast.
