July in Mallorca: What's On & Weather
Summer is in full swing in July, and it's all about the sun, sea and sand for most. Sun worshippers are out in force on Mallorca's beautiful beaches, and there's a real buzz in the air in restaurants and bars on those balmy summer evenings.
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.

A day at Santa Ponça Christmas Market 2018
On December 2nd, I joined a whole host of families as they flocked to Santa Ponsa’s Christmas Market, held in the industrial area of Son Bugadellas.
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.
Oktoberfest in Sa Riera
Pitched in a large tent on the outskirts of Mallorca’s capital city of Palma, Grup Trui hosted this years Mallorcan take on the German beer festival, the Oktoberfest.

What to expect from Mallorca's Fiesta Sant Joan
The people of Mallorca, like their mainland brothers, love a fiesta. Almost every weekend there seems to be a saint or a historical event that requires face paint and explosions, or at the very least a market. The Fiesta Sant Joan in Mallorca celebrates the life of John the Baptist and in Majorca Sant Joan is a very big deal. Every other street, shop and restaurant seems to be named after him, he's the Patron Saint of four towns and he even has a town named after him.
Summer Beach Parties in Port of Soller
The month of June gets the summer beach parties in Mallorca off to a fine start. The weather is glorious and we all look for excuses to get down on the sand and remember why we moved here. The beach and perfect horse shoe bay of Port de Soller never fail to delight and the children start to look forward to their holidays and swapping school shoes for no shoes. The diving platform is installed in the water this week and then the locals know that summer has officially started.
