Moving from Moscow to Palma de Mallorca?

If you're relocating from Moscow to Palma de Mallorca, expect visible limescale on taps and shower heads within weeks. You'll need to recalibrate your dishwasher's salt setting, increase kettle descaling frequency, and check your boiler warranty requirements. A shower filter and under-sink scale inhibitor are worth considering immediately.
