Yes, i have seen that. It seems to be pretty standard but i've been reading some horror stories of fines etc online

I've never had any problems in Spain mainland or islands.
Normal rules and don't fly over city's or people on a beach or possible fine.

Depends on what you're are looking to do during your flight and which drone you're using (if it has a camera or not mainly and its weight). Spain has just passed a law on the 15th of December 2017 giving more frame around recreational & commercial drone use in the country.

Below is a photo/map of Menorca drone flight zones:

According to Spain's drone flight map, in either case the North of Menorca (above Citadella de Menorca) is fine if your drone has a camera, if it doesn't, then almost all the island apart from the South East is free to use under Spanish drone code of conduct.

I've put a longer blog post together to help you as I live there and it was a really interesting topic for me
Hope this helps! Safe flight!
