We lived in the Canary Islands years ago and got a NIE there. Do we now have to re-apply for Mallorca or is the old number still valid? (Billy U., by email)

We live in Seville, my mother, who lives in Germany, would like to give me her second home in Mallorca. What are the fees and taxes for such an operation? (Sylvia M., via email)
Unfortunately, I cannot provide such legal advice. It is always advisable to involve a lawyer or tax consultant when selling a property. A notary can also answer your questions. The amount of taxes and fees always depends on the value of the condominium.

We are registered on the island and received the fourth corona vaccination yesterday. At the medical center we were asked to pay. How is it possible? (Michael R., by email)

Im Advent nach Cap Formentor
Can we drive to the lighthouse on the Formentor peninsula during Advent? (Maria T., by email)
Access to the Cap Formentor lighthouse has been closed since mid-November. The construction work that has been suspended for the holiday season is expected to be completed. Among other things, the consolidation of a retaining wall on the winding road. The works are expected to last until January 23, 2023. Until then, you can only drive up to the Es Colomar viewpoint.
