Castellers de Mallorca celebrate Spring festival in Palma
This Sunday we were lucky enough to catch another spectacular fiesta in Palma de Mallorca. Like the festival in Soller three weeks ago and the up coming Nit de Foc in Palma, this is a Majorcan tradition that is more interested in fun and participation than health and safety - the Catalan Castells.
What's on this Halloween in Mallorca

Pollenca Fira del Vi 2016 - Wine Fair
This was the 13th year of the Pollença Wine Fair which showcases the best in Mallorcan wines. It was held at the Claustre de Sant Domingo in Pollença on 16 and 17 April 2016 and was possibly the most important event on the island that weekend.

Mallorca Easter Festivities Review
It wouldn’t be the same in Mallorca if there wasn’t traditional food to eat at Easter time. During the Easter weekend the women of the family sit down to make a collection of savoury panades and sweet robiols, both of which are pastries only seen during Easter. There is certainly an art to making these pies and this year was my first year helping shape the panades in the small town of Selva.
Mallorca 312 Cycling Race 2019 bookings
Mallorca should be on every cyclist's bucket list. Not only does the island have some of the best uphill, winding roads in Europe but the views from the saddle are almost always breathtaking. One of the best ways to discover its appeal and explore its terrain is by signing up for the famous Mallorca 312 Cycling Race which takes place on April 27th 2019 and crosses the iconic Tramuntana mountains.
BVAW Alcudia Beach Volley Ball Tournament 2015
This weekend saw the BVAW beach volleyball tournament in Alcudia. From the 22nd to the 24th of May the beach filled up with couples in volley vests, short shorts and tiny bikinis leaping, diving and spiking in an attempt to be crowned winners of the Beach Volleyball Around the World’s 2015 tournament.
The Town of Sineu & my Favourite Market in Mallorca
If someone says 'Mallorca market', the one that springs to mind for me is the traditional and popular Wednesday market in Sineu (pronounced Sin a you), which has been going since way back in the 14th century. Sineu is a quaint inland town. If you stuck a needle where you guess the middle of the island of Mallorca is, you'd probably hit Sineu, geographically almost centric, strategically situated in the plains known as Es Pla.
Palma Nit de l'Art 2019 Review
The Nit de l'Art is the biggest art event on the island, kicking off the artistic season in the island’s capital. Each year, people flood the streets of Palma eager to sample the artistic delights on show.
September in Mallorca: What's On & Weather

The Sunday Evening BBQ at Zhero
After a fairly hedonistic weekend of parties, late nights and frivolities it's good to finish a Sunday with something calming, relaxing and healthy. In the Palma area one of the best ways to end the week is at the Zhero Hotel Barbeque.
Nikki Beach Dubai Meets Mallorca Event Review
Nikki Beach are famous for their exceptional parties, and Dubai Meets Mallorca on Saturday 3rd September was yet again another amazing event with a fantastic, fun filled atmosphere.

The Christmas Market in Santa Ponsa
Mallorca's largest foreign community is actually the German one, so much so that in Germany, Mallorca is jokingly referred to as the 17th Federal State.
