Read reviews of the best Mallorca nightlife
Mallorca is not massively famous for the wine it produces, overshadowed as it is by the Rioja's and Crianza's from the Spanish mainland. However, vineyards cover many hectares of Majorca, from the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains to the central plain towards Manacor and the east of the island.

Live music & art show at brand new Beach Side Cocktail & Grill
Beach Side cocktail bar and grill has just opened beside the attractive seaside promenade of Portixol. It is housed in a former windmill and is set back slightly from the main avenue, separated by a small area of grass and palm trees. The result is a relaxed and spacious terrace perfect for people watching.
Last night saw the elite of Mallorca's in-crowd gather to mark what is commonly considered the 'official' marking of the start of the summer season: Las Terrazas' Opening Party. The beach club in Illetes, a 10 minute car ride from Palma, is one of the best on the island with its restaurant and terraces overlooking the small sandy beach and rocky cove.
Cocktails, cocktails, cocktails at Bony’s Bar in Puerto Pollenca
Bony’s bar in Puerto Pollenca’s main square is a great spot full of fun, cocktails and character and with a brilliant view of the goings on in the main market square of the town.
Exploring a city looking for decent bars can either be a great deal of fun, or hugely frustrating. Without any insider knowledge, there is a danger of wandering the streets for hours without finding anywhere that you actually want to spend your drinking tokens. But of course, there is always the prospect of stumbling across some absolute crackers. In the name of 'research', on Saturday night, The Frenchman, James (who does our video reports), and your correspondent decided to take our chances, and explore the streets in and around La Llonja, in Palma.

One of the biggest parties in Majorca on the 23rd June
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.

Bar crawl with food in Palma
In an effort to impose my own austerity measures in this time of financial crisis, and to show the Canadian something new in Mallorca, last Wednesday we set out on a bar crawl along the Ruta Martiana in Palma's Gerreria district. Every Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the bars in this area offer tapas and pinxos (little open sandwiches) with either a beer or or glass of wine for just two Euros. This makes it one of the cheapest nights out in Palma de Mallorca and a fun way to see a bit of town often overlooked by tourists but popular with the Palma locals.
