The Christmas Market in Santa Ponsa
All that's missing is the snow!
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.

Fire wielding demons, dancing, parades and fireworks
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.

Mallorca Easter Festivities Review
Traditional pies to mark the Easter holidays
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.

Running Mallorca's 'Mancor Extrem'
The Cursa de Muntanya race series
Extreme by name, extreme by nature. The race up and down Puig Massanella from the picturesque village of Mancor de la Vall is considered by many to be the toughest race in the Cursa de Muntanya race series. This year’s race was made all the more difficult because local landlords would not allow runners to cross their land on the return from the peak.
