May in Mallorca: What's On & Weather

May usually provides the perfect temperature to get out and explore the best of this magical island. There's a buzz in the air as the island gears up for summer. We've whittled down a list of our favourite events and things to see and do in May.

Capdepera Medieval Fira

One of the best times of the year to visit Mallorca is during the month of May. The temperatures start to rise and the lack of tourists means that you can get around without being stuck in traffic jams. More importantly, the month of May is when the little known town of Capdepera in the north east of the island hosts its Medieval ‘Fira’.

A visit to Estellenchs, a Bodega and the Sa Plana 'Agroturismo' Hotel

Location
Estellencs

The drive or bus ride to the small mountain village of Estellenchs, in the southwest corner of Mallorca, is quite breathtaking in its beauty. If sand, sangria and discos are your thing then read no further. However, for the discerning lover of pure and unspoiled Mediterranean countryside read on. How to get there? If you have a car at your disposal, so much the better. If not, head to the Plaza España underground bus terminal in central Palma and take the red and yellow IB 11 or 217 (beware, the numbers are frequently changed just to keep you on your toes! Obviously, the key is to look for the names of the villages (Palma) – Esporles – Banyalbufar – Estellenchs). If you are fortunate enough to miss the last bus back (18.05, when I enquired) you could do a lot worse than to check into the small, family run hotel called Sa Plana, but more of that later.

Sant Sebastia 2013 - Palma's best fiesta

This years Sant Sebastia festivities in Palma last Saturday night were much quieter than in previous years as wind and rain put many Mallorquians off coming out to celebrate. However, the rain didn’t last long enough to put out the barbecues on the streets and still crowds were there cooking sausages, toasting bread, and warming up by the foguerons (bonfires).

This vibrant event honours the rich tradition of winemaking and the fruitful harvest, with locals proudly wearing traditional costumes, adding to the authentic and festive atmosphere.
