I recently returned from a vacation on the Spanish island, Mallorca. Photos of my trip can be seen here in my newest image gallery [0].

Mallorca has beautiful landscapes, beaches and architecture, however the island is teaming with German tourists. There are also some parts of the island with a high number of British tourists stumbling about. To that end, I'll share with you a reliable way to distinguish the German tourists from the British: When a tourist accidentally bumps into you, and he says "Excuse me.", then he is British. If he, however, says nothing and continues on his merry way, then he is German :)

If you are yourself German and are considering a Holiday on Mallorca, then rest assured that language would be no problem whatsoever. But God forbid that you speak Spanish! I witnessed one Spanish woman complain to an employee at a popular ice cream bar. She was annoyed that she was unable to place her order because all the listed flavors were presented in German.
