December
Mallorca is a magical place to be in December as we eagerly await the big light switch on in Palma and the wonderful Christmas Markets.
Partridge and Agricultural Fair, Montuiri
For something a bit different, this is an excellent fair in Montuiri featuring game and in particular the partridge. Perfect for some early Christmas dinner shopping.
Nadal (Christmas)
Midnight mass on Christmas Eve is very popular with the locals as well as the big day of Christmas where families will be together to celebrate the festive season.
Nochevieja & Año Nuevo (New Year's Eve)
Celebrated all over the island with plenty of spectacular firework displays, for New Year's Eve some villages also have live music and dancing. Another must is eating the 12 grapes during the countdown to midnight, a tradition kept throughout Spain. In Palma there is a procession that goes from the town hall to the Cathedral.
