Spanish law requires you to signal every turn, lane change and stop with your arm extended, with enough time for following traffic to react. Standard signals: left arm extended for left turn, right arm extended for right turn (or left arm bent up), left arm bent down for stop. In group riding, point at holes and hazards verbally and with the hand. Mallorca-specific tip: signal extra-clearly at the many small unsignposted T-junctions on inland inland connector roads.

Hand signals required for every turn and stop
You must signal every turn, lane change and stop with the arm, well in advance. Most road incidents in Mallorca involve missed signals at junctions.
