The Diamond Jubilee celebrations may be over in the UK, but here on Mallorca, we enjoyed a quintessential English garden party at La Residencia Hotel in Deia to mark the British monarch’s 60th year on the throne.
A trip to Deià on the north coast of Majorca is a must for anyone wishing to experience the diversity that this beautiful island has to offer.
The vaults within the medieval wall in front of the Cathedral once stored the city's armaments. Nowadays however, you're more likely to find artists at work.
As most countries in the world begin to wrap up their Christmas festivities, in Spain the Christmas holidays are still in full swing.
Festivals in Mallorca are a considerably more boisterous affair than our more reserved British fetes with their Maypoles and cream teas.
This year saw the town of Sa Pobla celebrate its 20th annual Jazz Festival. From the 5th to the 8th of August the town’s Plaça Major was filled to the brim with spectators, who had come to enjoy the sounds of the different artistes performing each night.
Carnival happens in the Port of Soller from Friday 2nd March onwards. Take a trip to the marina end of the Port in the morning and the children from the only school in the Port will parade down to the sea in their fine costumes. Masked princesses, skeletons, pirates, fairies and goblins will stroll among the holiday makers and locals.
February is here bearing longer days and more hours of sun. The island's illustrious almond blossom reaches full bloom, making Mallorca more beautiful than ever.
If you suddenly had to flee your home, what would be the most important thing you would take with you?
La Patrona Festival – it’s Moors V’s Christians in an epic battle re-enactment in Pollenca
Port Calanova celebrated its 40th anniversary this weekend by treating the public to a wide range of water sports and a giant paella.
Every year, during the second weekend of May, the inhabitants of Soller prepare their muskets, bring out the black shoe polish, and engage in fearsome battles to commemorate one of the town’s greatest historical triumphs. In 1561, the town was invaded by pillaging pirates from North Africa who were set on stealing riches and selling the folk of Soller into slavery. This event is celebrated these days during the annual Soller ‘Fira & Firo’ which honours the victory of the town’s people, (the Christian Sollerics) over the invading Algerian Moors (the Saracens).
There was a great sense of anticipation at Palma Auditorium on Friday, as people arrived for the one night only show celebrating Glenn Miller and the golden era of swing and big band music.
There was no rest for the wicked in Puerto Pollensa on Sunday 19th July, in fact there was no rest for anyone until well after midnight. The streets were filled with revellers and pyrotechnics as the Fiesta of Virgen del Carmen came to a close in explosive style with a Correfoc parade of fire wielding demons.
Mallorca was blessed with perfect running conditions for the Ultra Mallorca Serra de Tramuntana (UMSdT) races last Saturday – the 105km “Ultra” from Andratx to Pollenca and the 63km “Ultra Trail” from Valldemossa to Pollenca.
It's another bust week of opening parties, live music and even a chance to canoe round an island, as ever there's lots going on here in Mallorca.
This professional competition goes across some of the most beautiful sites on the island and is made up of four independent races, each taking place on a different day. This year they celebrated their 25th anniversary... Many happy returns!
