Answer

When do bakers in Mallorca usually start work?

Bakers in Mallorca often start in the very early hours, sometimes around 3:30 a.m. or before dawn, so fresh bread is ready for the morning rush. That schedule is part of traditional bakery work and is one reason staffing is so difficult. It also explains why the job is not suitable for everyone.
