The best plans to enjoy Mallorca during the winter
The best plans to enjoy Mallorca during the winter
Get to know Palma de Mallorca
One of the main tourist attractions is the Cathedral La Seu. Built in the 13th century, it is representative of the Levantine Gothic style. You can explore its interior to enjoy the coloured light filtering through the stained-glass windows and rose window, as well as beautiful chapels, such as the Santísimo. Gaudí's intervention in the early 20th century renovation is also interesting to see. If you visit Mallorca at Christmas, the Christmas Eve mass in the cathedral is recommended, with the prophetic singing of La Sibila, accompanied by the organ.
A few kilometres away from Palma you can also find the Castell de Bellver, a castle built in the 14th century by King Jaime II. In addition to being an example of Mallorcan Gothic architecture, it offers stunning views of the city, the port and the Tramontana mountain range.
Visit the museums
The Baluard Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art has more than 500 works by local and international artists, including Miquel Barceló, Francesca Martí and Pablo Picasso. The Juan March Foundation, housed in a former mansion, offers exhibitions of international artists and a permanent exhibition with works by Miró, Juan Gris and Salvador Dalí. The Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation exhibits more than 7,000 works by the artist Joan Miró.
Take the opportunity to get to know the Christmas side of the island
From January 10 to 25, Palma pays tribute to Sant Sebastià with concerts and cultural programs. The streets are illuminated with bonfires where food can be grilled. The feast of Sant Antoni, on January 16 and 17, celebrates the patron saint of animals with blessings in churches and bonfires. Mallorca also offers several Christmas markets:
Christmas market in Puerto Portals:
Enjoy beautiful Christmas decorations, local food and original gifts at the market in Puerto Portals.
It takes place from mid-December until January 6th.
Approximate hours: 12h to 22h.
Christmas Market at Plaza Mayor in Palma:
From the end of November until January 5, the market in Plaza Mayor offers food stalls, gifts and live performances.
It is notable for its display of nativity scenes.
Christmas market in Pueblo Español:
In the Son Dureta area of Palma, Pueblo Español is a charming corner of Mallorca.
Visit in winter to enjoy Christmas decorations, a vibrant market and the presence of Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men.
It offers great food and unique holiday experiences.
Do you like mountain routes?
The Serra de Tramontana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a paradise for winter hiking lovers. The Barranco de Biniaraix route offers spectacular views and scenery, especially when the torrent carries water. Another option is the route from the Ermita de la Victoria to Talaia de Alcudia, short and simple, with panoramic views of the bays and the Serra de Tramuntana. Valldemossa is also ideal for hiking, with options such as the route to Deia, the puig des Teix or the camí del Arxiduc.
