Tourist Information
Proxim Del Rio is a walk-in retail establishment; no appointments are needed. The staff confirms English and Spanish are spoken fluently, which is vital for discussing specific food allergies or dietary requirements. They are open during standard Spanish retail hours, typically including a mid-day 'siesta' break, though many Proxim locations in tourist zones now stay open through the afternoon (check locally for seasonal changes). They accept all major international credit cards. For tourists with travel insurance, please note that food and supplements purchased here are generally out-of-pocket expenses and not covered by medical insurance unless specifically prescribed by a local doctor and processed through a pharmacy (Farmacia). The store is located near the mouth of the only river in the Balearics, a major landmark in Santa Eulalia.
