A solid ninth place in 2008-09 means that RCD Mallorca will be starting the new season in an optimistic mood.
Real Mallorca have been a regular in Primera for over a decade now and a visit to the Ono Estadi is certainly no push over - even for the big sides.
Gregorio Manzano is an experienced coach accustomed to getting the best out of workmanlike sides.
With players like Aouate, Webo and Nunes, they present a very well-organised proposition for 2009-10.
It will be difficult to repeat the success of 1999 and 2001 when they finished third in the Primera Liga or 2003 when they won la Copa del Rey..
Nicknamed the Ensaimada Mecánica after the typical Mallorcan pastry and tipping a wink towards the Naraja Mecánica - the famous Dutch Clockwork
Orange of the Seventies - Real Mallorca are establishing a reputation for a top-notch location and first-class football.
