Mallorca has a reputation for being a peaceful, relaxing place. The island offers a large number of activities and places to discover. It has many monuments and museums, as well as a wide range of activities and trips to satisfy all visitors. Many local festivities, mainly of religious nature, are celebrated in Mallorca. They are outstanding, spectacular events.
The routes along the interior of the island are very popular. Hiking attracts many people and allows visitors to discover the island’s vegetation of varied shapes and colours.
A boat trip is one of the best ways of discovering the beauty of the rough, rocky coast around the island. Many boat tours depart from Puerto Soller (West). Back on dry land, an equally interesting proposal is to visit the Mallorca safari zoo in sa Coma.
A number of caves are open to visitors. You can take guided tours of their splendid chambers and enjoy the sight of the underground lakes.
In Mallorca there is an excellent offer of leisure parks. Most of them are located in the municipality of Calvia. You can also visit a park with animals in Portals Nous boasting dolphin and seal shows and an aquarium located in Playa de Palma exhibiting marine life.
WHAT TO DO WITH CHILDREN
Families with children can have fun in aquaparks, theme parks, adventure parks, aquaria, animal conservation centres and picnic areas in the midst of nature.
Also when visiting Mallorca at Christmas can be a great experience for children. Mallorcan children eagerly await the arrival of the three Kings of Orient loaded down with gifts, who come to the parades held on 5th January in all the island’s municipalities. The city of Palma is also filled with lights and entertainment with the Christmas markets where you
can buy traditional sweets and gifts. Typical of this period are the traditional nativity scenes. The well-established nativity route represents an opportunity to see them. The unique Song of the Sib·ila can be heard in most churches on Christmas Eve. After this mass it is traditional for Mallorcans to go and have a hot chocolate and an “ensaimada."
Here is a listing of places to visit for the entire family during the autumn and winter months. From adventure parks to leisure and entertainment options. Plenty to choose from.
