Answer

Why is back-to-school shopping more expensive in Mallorca this year?

Back-to-school costs in the Balearic Islands have risen by about five percent compared with last year.

Books and workbooks are the biggest expense, but uniforms, excursions, and digital requirements can quickly add to the bill.
