Probably your own judgement might be more restrictive than the manual sometimes.
You can stick to the mean wind direction and speed, disregarding gusts; so assuming the Palma example with a max crosswind component of 30kts, you would be legal.
You eventually want to compose a flight plan that makes sense to the crew and not only to the lawyers. So if you feel a landing at destination is not assured (due to the wind), feel free to add a 2nd ALTN, extra fuel, whatever can help them just in case.
