Winter in Mallorca marked by the winter solstice on 21 December is short, and with at least two hours more of daylight, no one here is hibernating.
Early January brings the festival of the ‘Three Kings ‘ (on 5th January ,the eve of the Epiphany) where you can witness the arrival of the Three Kings, often on horseback, with their royal pages, musicians and dancers delivering sweets and gifts to small children. Each town has its own parade but the largest and longest is in Palma.
If you need to work off some of the Christmas excesses, then why not join the tens of thousands of cyclists and walkers who make Mallorca their ‘winter holiday home ‘each year.
January ‘ blues ‘ in Mallorca generally refer to the skies and, if you visit late in January or in February you will see Mallorca wearing one of its perfectly best outfits, four million almond trees in full blossom.
