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.
Santanyi's weekend market is one of the better markets on Mallorca. It's not a big market, certainly not as big as the sprawling market at Sineu, but it has some interesting stalls with unusual gifts to take home, some fresh local produce and even some clothing and art.
The 50th International Plastic Art’s Competition on display in Pollenca Museum.
This week Rialto Living kicked off its first art exhibition of 2017 with a showing of Adrian Elgie’s ‘Mis Nuevas Vistas - A Bright New Vista’ and I was kindly invited to visit the opening night. Adrian is an English contemporary landscape artist and, having seen some examples of his paintings and read his background of moving to Mallorca from Cambridgeshire (my home county) to rekindle a romance with his former art college sweetheart on the island, I was keen to find out more.
The far easterly village of Capdepera was bursting with activity last weekend as it celebrated its 17th Medieval fair. Over 70,000 visitors flocked to its picturesque streets, most heading straight up to the walled fortress of Capdepera Castle, which provides a very authentic backdrop to the festivities.
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!
Nikki Beach’s White Party has become a world famous social affair and is, without a doubt, one of the biggest events of the year in Mallorca. Anybody who’s anybody wants to be seen at this particular party. This year, I went along to see what all the fuss was about.
Palma Boat Show 2017 saw more than 500 exhibitors representing almost 4000 boat and marine brands in front of the city’s iconic cathedral, between Friday 28th April and Tuesday 2nd May 2017.
Artdemossa is a magical evening dedicated to art and culture which takes place in the picturesque town of Valldemossa. On 22nd July from 18.00, an exciting concoction of music, dance, poetry and gastronomy will attract thousands of visitors to the Tramuntana.
Traditionally, Mallorcans would celebrate All Hallows' Day ('Tots Els Sants') instead of All Hallows' Eve. People would visit the local cemeteries and bring fresh flowers to their dead.
Last weekend saw more than 200,000 people flood the streets of Son Ferriol to attend one of the biggest agricultural fairs in Mallorca.
People all over Mallorca enjoyed a three day weekend to celebrate Friday’s public holiday “Dia de les Balears” the ‘Day of the Balearics’. As the capital of the largest of the Balearic Islands, Palma hosted the bulk of the events which attracted huge crowds over the three days.
This Saturday the lively Market of Sant Rescat will be held in Plaça Quadrado, in Palma's old town. From 10.00 to 19.00 there will be over 80 stalls selling vintage and second hand goods, Art, and artisan products.
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.
Blessings, torrades, ximbombas, fireworks and climbing a 20 metre tree are all things you may witness in Mallorca during the week of Sant Antoni.
June is upon us now and here in Mallorca that means we have some BIG opening parties ahead of us and the beginning of some of the major events of the Summer.
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.
