Guess the European pond turtle is common on Majorca.

I think it used to be but has perhaps been in a bit of a decline recently. During one of my last visits, some survey work was being done to determine if and where they were breeding.
Both it and the non-european Red-eared Slider are generally thought to be introductions to the islands. The first probably with the Romans during their occupation and the latter through the pet trade.
