Despite some locals recognizing her, the people in Costix are relaxed and respect privacy, letting her live her life without interruptions.

She is often seen walking around town with her baby daughter and partner in casual clothes.

According to Miguel, a shopkeeper in Costix, his wife immediately recognized Amber Heard, but they chose not to say anything and did not bother anyone. 

Miguel also mentioned that Heard is just like any other person in the town.

She purchases fruits and vegetables, speaks Spanish with a Mexican accent, and is always polite, greeting them with a good morning.

She used a new name to rent a mansion in Spain and hide from the spotlight.

The property, located in the small rural town of Costix, is said to belong to the family of Maria Antònia Munar, a local politician who was previously sentenced to corruption.

The mansion that Amber Heard is renting was constructed last year and provides a stunning view of the Tramuntana mountains.

It has a contemporary design with large windows that reach from the floor to the ceiling. Additionally, the property includes an infinity pool.

While the exact rental price is unknown, the house was previously listed for sale for $3.3 million.

This is not the first time Heard sought refuge on the Balearic Island. 

To deceive the public, Amber Heard once shared a photo on Instagram with the caption "Hola Madrid!"

However, followers noticed the Palma inscription on a manhole cover in the picture, exposing the actual location as Mallorca.

As Amber Heard finds solace in her peaceful Mallorcan hideaway, her ongoing legal disputes and financial obligations towards Johnny Depp continue to affect her personal and career aspects.

Recently, Amber Heard switched lawyers once again as she tried to compel two insurance companies to cover the substantial costs of her defamation settlement. 

According to her newly hired attorney, Kirk Pasich, Heard's expenses had already exceeded $8 million even before the trial in Virginia commenced.

It seems that Heard's legal team is seeking coverage for these expenses through homeowner's insurance.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's defamation trial

Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife, Amber Heard, for $50 million in March 2019. He claimed she wrote an article implying he abused her.

In February 2020, audio recordings were released where Heard admitted to hitting Depp. 

They went to trial in April 2022, discussing their abusive relationship. 

Heard admitted to being violent, and Depp denied all abuse allegations. 

In June 2022, Depp won the defamation case and was awarded $10.3 million, but Heard received $2 million. Both parties appealed the decisions in July 2022.
