There are a variety of Christmas Markets across city centre of Palma, including La Rambla, Plaza Mayor Pueblo Español and Sandberg's personal favourite at our local port, Puerto Portals. Take a trip to a Christmas market for a stroll around the, sipping hot mulled wine, or head off on a winter walk. Puerto Portals and Palma's Plaza Mayor both host wonderful markets, while Port Adriano is home to the only ice rink on the island.

Christmas Celebrations

Fiestas and firework displays take place in towns and villages across Mallorca, creating a wonderful atmosphere for families and children. Wherever you happen to be, when the clocks strike midnight, don't forget your grapes. The Spanish traditionally welcome the New Year in by eating one grape for each strike of the clock; it is said to bring prosperity and good luck.
