Christmas on Mallorca: Between Sparkling Lights and Mediterranean Serenity

16/11/2025
  Christmas on Mallorca: Between Sparkling Lights and Mediterranean Serenity   When thinking of Christmas, many people imagine snow, pine forests, and hot drinks by the fireplace. On Mallorca, things are different – but no less magical. During the Christmas season, the island reveals a very special side: festive, warm-hearted, full of lights, and surprisingly traditional. Among palm trees, nativity scenes, and twinkling decorations, you experience a Christmas that touches both heart and soul.       Advent on Mallorca – When the island begins to shine     By the end of November, Mallorca slowly transforms into a sea of lights. Especially in Palma, the Christmas lighting ceremony is a true event every year. The moment the colourful garlands and stars illuminate the streets, a festive atmosphere fills the air. Everywhere you can smell roasted almonds, hot chocolate, and sweet treats.   The Christmas markets — in Catalan Mercats de Nadal — have a very special charm. Instead of freezing cold, you enjoy mild temperatures while strolling through decorated stalls, discovering handicrafts, or enjoying a glass of mulled wine and churros accompanied by music. Each market has its own style: some are elegant, others rural and family-oriented, but all radiate a warm sense of anticipation and togetherness.         Traditions and customs – A Mallorcan Christmas with heart   Christmas time on Mallorca is full of beautiful traditions, many of which have been preserved for centuries. Especially important is the nativity scene, in Mallorcan “Betlem”. It is crafted with great care, sometimes over weeks. In many homes, it is tradition to add a new figure each year – a lovely symbol of family and growth.   Another special moment is the Song of the Sibyl, performed in many churches on the island on the night of December 24. A singer in festive attire presents an ancient melody that gives you goosebumps. This ritual dates back to the Middle Ages and is now an essential part of Mallorcan Christmas culture.   Of course, the Midnight Mass, known as the Misa del Gallo, is not to be missed. Many families attend it on Christmas Eve before later gathering for dinner and spending a peaceful evening together. Christmas on Mallorca is a very family-oriented celebration, focused on togetherness, love and reflection.       Festive food – Mallorcan delicacies in December   Food plays a major role during Christmas time on Mallorca. A typical dish is the “Sopa de Nadal”, a hearty soup usually served with meatballs and fine noodles. Traditional sweets include turrón (almond nougat), polvorones (almond shortbread that melts in your mouth), and of course the famous ensaimadas, popular all year round.   During Advent, people often meet in small cafés to enjoy hot chocolate with churros — especially in Palma, where it has become a true ritual. The aroma of cocoa and cinnamon fills the air while the Christmas lights sparkle outside.   On Epiphany, January 6, people eat the traditional “Roscón de Reyes”, a round cake with candied fruits and small hidden figures inside. Whoever finds the figure becomes the king or queen of the day — a joyful end to the Christmas season.       The Three Kings – The grand finale of the festive season   For children, January 6 is often even more important than Christmas Eve. This is when the Three Kings, the “Reyes Magos”, arrive. In every town and village, they parade through the streets in festive processions, throwing sweets and delivering gifts. In Palma, they usually arrive by boat — a moment eagerly awaited by the whole city.   The following morning, presents wait under the tree and the scent of freshly baked Roscón fills the homes. This celebration marks the end of the Christmas season, and although you may feel a little wistful, the heart remains full of beautiful memories from the past weeks.         Christmas markets, music and festive spirit   In addition to traditional customs, Christmas time on Mallorca is full of music and events. In the Cathedral of Palma and many other churches, Christmas concerts take place, including choirs, gospel evenings and small village festivals with music and dancing.   Many places transform their squares into small Christmas villages with carousels, market stalls, children’s attractions and ice rinks. For families, this is a true highlight, as the atmosphere is cheerful, colourful and cosy at the same time.   What I find particularly beautiful: even though Mallorca is an island with sunshine and palm trees, you can feel the festive spirit everywhere. It’s a different kind of Christmas — without snow, but full of warmth.       A very special Christmas feeling   Christmas on Mallorca is different — but perhaps that’s what makes it so special. During this season, the island reveals a quieter, more peaceful side. After the lively summer months, a sense of calm returns, perfectly matching the reflective spirit of Christmas.   The combination of Mallorcan tradition, Mediterranean climate, festive lights and heartfelt family atmosphere makes Christmas here truly unique. People enjoy the holidays with friends, family and neighbours — often outdoors, with views of the sea or mountains.   Anyone who has experienced Christmas on Mallorca will quickly realise that you do not need snow or cold weather to feel a deep sense of Christmas spirit — perhaps even a more genuine and peaceful one.

 Mallorca shines bright: The magical start of the Christmas lights

01/11/2025
   Mallorca shines bright: The magical start of the Christmas lights    When the Christmas lights are switched on in Mallorca at the end of November, one of the island’s most beautiful times of the year begins. Christmas in Mallorca is a truly special experience – festive, Mediterranean, and wonderfully familiar. The streets fill with music, lights, and scents that make you feel the joy of the season. In Palma de Mallorca, the city center turns into a sparkling stage that evening. Thousands gather to witness the moment when the Christmas lights in Palma are officially turned on. Golden stars glow above the Passeig des Born, fairy lights twinkle on the palm trees, and the historic old town around the La Seu Cathedral shines in a warm glow. You can feel that not just a city, but the whole island, is embracing the Christmas spirit.  What fascinates me every year is the atmosphere: families strolling with bright eyes, street musicians spreading joy, and the scent of roasted almonds and churros in the air. You can buy local products at small stalls or warm up with a cup of mulled wine – with a Mallorcan twist, of course. But it’s not only Palma that celebrates the start of Advent: towns like Sóller, Inca, Llucmajor, and Alcúdia also mark the event with music, activities for children, and charming Christmas markets – showing that Mallorca is full of life even in winter.  For many, this season is a hidden gem for a winter holiday in Mallorca. The weather is mild, the beaches are calm, and the island reveals a quieter side. At the same time, events like the Christmas light switch-on offer the perfect reason to discover Mallorca before Christmas – without the summer crowds, but with plenty of heart.   So if you want to experience something different from your usual Christmas market at home, plan your next getaway to Mallorca at Christmas. The moment the lights turn on in Palma and the city glows in golden light is truly magical – and unforgettable. Merry pre-Christmas season!

The weekly markets in Mallorca take place in almost every village and town – from Palma, Inca and Sineu to Alcúdia. Visitors can buy fresh local fruits and vegetables, handmade ceramics and textiles, and discover typical Mallorcan specialties. Olive oil, wine, cheese and local jam are especially popular.

Halloween in Mallorca: Terror under the Palm Trees

25/10/2025
Halloween in Mallorca: Terror under the Palm Trees     Although Mallorca is best known for its sunshine, beaches, and summer vibes, the island reveals a completely different side at the end of October. With shorter days and cooler nights, Mallorca suddenly becomes spooky. Halloween has long since become a must on the island’s autumn calendar and is celebrated with great enthusiasm.   In many places – especially in Palma – bars and nightclubs are transformed into small stages of horror. Whether it’s costume parties in the old town, restaurants with elaborate decorations, or children’s parades in residential areas, you’ll find witches, vampires, and other characters everywhere. Numerous international schools and families with foreign roots also contribute to the growing popularity of this tradition on the island.     This creates a special mix in Mallorca: sun and sea during the day, fog machines and pumpkin lights at night. Those who visit the island during this time will experience an unusual but atmospheric Mallorca – a blend of celebration, family, and a touch of chills.

Els Calderers – A Living Testament to Mallorcan History

25/10/2025
  Els Calderers – A Living Testament to Mallorcan History     The Els Calderers Estate   When you enter the Els Calderers estate, you immediately get the feeling of stepping back in time. This historic manor house is located in the heart of Mallorca, surrounded by fields, olive trees, and old stone walls that have stood for centuries. The building itself dates back to the 18th century and was built in the typical style of a Mallorcan finca – with thick stone walls, high ceilings, and large wooden doors that keep the interior pleasantly cool in summer. At first glance, the façade of the house is truly impressive: the light sandstone used in its construction shimmers in warm shades of yellow and ochre depending on the light. Above the large entrance gate, you can still see the family crest of those who once lived here. It’s immediately clear that Els Calderers was not just a farmhouse, but the home of a wealthy landowning family that valued both style and tradition.   Inside, the house reveals its full charm: the rooms are furnished with original furniture, old paintings, heavy wooden chests, and handwoven carpets. Particularly striking is the large dining hall, where the long wooden table still stands – the same one where the family and their guests used to gather. Next to it is a rustic kitchen with copper pots, a stone oven, and an open fireplace that still works today. What fascinated me most was how Els Calderers manages to make everyday life from centuries past come alive. It feels as if the residents had just stepped out for a moment. The air carries the scent of wood, aged leather, and something reminiscent of wine and olives. Every room tells its own story – from the music room with its old instruments to the bedroom with its heavy canopy bed. The inner courtyard is also typical of a Mallorcan country house: a small fountain trickles in the center, surrounded by plants that provide shade. In the past, this was the heart of daily life – where people worked, ate, and celebrated together. Today, it’s a peaceful place where you can easily imagine what life on a finca was like more than two hundred years ago. The entire Els Calderers estate is a true piece of Mallorcan history. It vividly shows how closely people were once connected to nature – they lived off the land, cared for their animals, and preserved traditions that remain alive on the island to this day.

The Black Osborne Bulls – Spain’s Silent Landmarks by the Roadside

22/10/2025
The Black Osborne Bulls – Spain’s Silent Landmarks by the Roadside       Anyone driving through Spain will recognize them instantly: the huge black bull silhouettes that stand proudly on hillsides and along country roads. These striking figures, known as the Osborne Bulls (Toro de Osborne), are far more than advertising signs – they have become a symbol of Spain itself.   Originally, the large Osborne bulls were created in the 1950s as advertisements for Osborne’s “Veterano” brandy. The traditional Spanish company Osborne – one of Andalusia’s oldest wine houses – erected more than 500 of these monumental metal figures across the country. Each bull stood about 14 meters tall and originally bore the brand name. After a law change in the 1990s banned roadside advertising, the lettering had to be removed – but the bulls themselves were allowed to remain. Today they stand without logos, yet with even greater symbolic power for Spanish culture.   The Osborne Bulls have since become a fixed part of the Spanish landscape – from Andalusia and Castile-La Mancha to Catalonia. Even on the Balearic Islands there is one: on Mallorca, an impressive Osborne bull stands near the road from Palma to Manacor, clearly visible across the landscape. It reminds both travelers and locals of this iconic emblem of the Iberian Peninsula.   Today, the black silhouettes are recognized as cultural heritage and national symbols. They embody Spanish pride, tradition, and the legacy of the Osborne brand, which managed to turn a simple advertisement into a lasting emblem. Whether glowing in the golden evening light on a hilltop or standing guard by a dusty roadside – the Toro de Osborne remains a timeless symbol of Spain and its cultural identity.

 House and Apartment “Occupation” (Okupación) in Mallorca

20/10/2025
 House and Apartment “Occupation” (Okupación) in Mallorca     1. What is meant by “Occupation” / “Okupación” in Mallorca?   The term “Okupación” generally refers to a residential property — house, apartment, or even a vacant commercial building — being taken over without the owner’s consent (or without a valid rental/lease agreement) by people who are not legally authorized to use it. In Mallorca, and Spain in general, two main types are distinguished: Allanamiento de morada (breaking into a home), when it concerns an occupied property: this refers to entering or occupying a home or house, considered the “residence” of the owner or lawful user, without permission. Usurpación (unlawful appropriation) — when, for example, a vacant property, unused house, or building not used as a permanent residence is taken over by third parties. On Mallorca, owners and neighbors increasingly report cases where properties, especially vacant houses or apartments, are used by so-called “okupas” — often negatively impacting the owners and/or surrounding neighborhood. 2. Why does this happen in Mallorca? Some reasons and conditions that play a role in Mallorca: Many properties are vacant at times (holiday homes, second homes, investment properties). Vacancies make it easier for unauthorized occupation. The property and rental market is tight, making it attractive for some to occupy vacant properties without permission. Legal and practical obstacles for owners to reclaim property quickly: lengthy procedures, bureaucratic hurdles. For example, “Usurpación” is often not resolved immediately by the police and may require a court order. In some cases, organized structures: in one reported case, neighbors suspected a kind of “mafia” controlling vacant buildings. Political and legal discussion: the Balearic government (Región de Islas Baleares) is considering measures against people convicted of Okupación, e.g., exclusion from rental or housing aid. 3. Legal situation in Mallorca / Spain Key points: Spanish law provides both criminal and civil remedies. For example, the Penal Code (Código Penal) distinguishes between breaking into a home (allanamiento de morada) and unlawful appropriation (usurpación). With the reform of the Ley de Enjuiciamiento Criminal (“LECrim”) in 2025 (≈ Ley Orgánica 1/2025), cases of Okupación or unauthorized use can be handled more quickly via a “juicio rápido” — e.g., a period of approximately 15 days for certain proceedings. In the Balearic Islands (including Mallorca), laws or regulations are planned to exclude people convicted of Okupación from state rental or housing benefits for a certain period. Local police recommend that owners in case of Okupación not act on their own to remove occupants or use force, but instead follow formal procedures: file a report and initiate legal action. What this means specifically for owners: If it is a residence where you live or normally reside (main or holiday home with personal belongings) and someone has entered without permission, it is often considered allanamiento de morada. Police can intervene more quickly in such cases. If the property is vacant, e.g., a commercial property or second home unused for a long period, the term usurpación usually applies — procedures are longer and more complex. The key difference: whether you as the owner regularly use the property and the use is clearly visible, or whether the property was practically “abandoned.” In the latter case, rights are harder to enforce. 4. Typical cases in Mallorca – Challenges & Risks Some realistic scenarios and what to watch out for: Vacant fincas or estates: In rural areas or outskirts, some houses remain vacant for long periods and are used by okupas. Owners often find it difficult to detect and act legally. Apartments in complexes or Palma city: neighbors may be affected by noise, disturbances, or insecurity due to okupas using the property. Tourist or second-use properties: Occasional-use homes or rentals have a higher risk of unauthorized occupation, making fast intervention difficult. Financial consequences: Beyond emotional stress, there may be rent loss, damage, cleaning costs, legal costs for proceedings, and potential depreciation of the property during vacancy. Image and neighborhood risks: Occupation can make neighbors feel unsafe, affecting the area. Some neighbors have moved away due to insecurity. 5. What owners in Mallorca can do — Step by Step A practical guide if you suspect or are facing occupation: 5.1 Prevention Ensure your property does not appear vacant: Regular visits, cleaning, or maintenance. Turn on lights or use timers to create a “lived-in” impression. Alarm system through local providers. Secure doors, windows, locks, alarms. Harder access reduces risk. Check outbuildings, garages, storage rooms — common entry points. Inform neighbors: Ask a trusted neighbor or property

Just a few kilometers from the lively beaches of the north coast, this vast wetland offers an oasis of tranquility and a true hidden gem for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and photographers. Covering more than 1,700 hectares of protected landscape , the Parc Natural de s’Albufera is the largest wetland in the Balearic Islands. Among reeds, dunes, and quiet lagoons, you can find more than 270 bird species , including rare herons, ospreys, and flamingos. Especially in the early morning or late afternoon, a walk along the well-maintained trails and observation paths is highly rewarding – the light is magical, and the sounds of nature are truly unique. Entrance for visitors is free, but a visitor registration is required, which can be completed either on-site or online. Bicycles are allowed and make exploring even more enjoyable – especially on warm days. If you need a break, you can stop at one of the many wooden platforms and let your eyes wander across the vast landscape. The Albufera is not only a paradise for birds but also an important refuge for many endangered plant and animal species.

11/04/2025
  Mallorca’s Golden Fruits: Oranges and Citrus Magic in the Sunny Paradise Discover the fragrant world of oranges and citrus fruits in Mallorca: from Sóller’s orange groves to local delicacies – a treat for all the senses!   Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, is known not only for its dreamlike beaches and picturesque villages. Especially in spring, the orange and lemon groves transform the island into a fragrant paradise. Travellers experience the citrus fruits in all their diversity – fresh, aromatic, and sun-ripened.   The Heart of Mallorca’s Citrus Culture: Sóller   The picturesque valley of Sóller in the northwest of the island is regarded as the centre of orange and lemon production. Nestled between the slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, juicy oranges, mandarins, lemons, and limes thrive under ideal climatic conditions.   As early as the 19th century, Sóller earned the nickname “Valley of Oranges” when the fruits were exported to France. Even today, Sóller’s oranges are a culinary highlight and a popular souvenir.   Citrus Fruits in Mallorca: More Than Just Fruit   The orange blossom in spring covers the landscape in a sea of white flowers and fills the air with a captivating scent. In addition to enjoying the fresh fruits, many delicious products are made in Mallorca, such as: • Orange marmalade • Lemon liqueur • Mandarin oil • Lemon sorbet   Local restaurants use fresh oranges and lemons in their traditional recipes – from refreshing salads to aromatic fish dishes and delicious desserts.   Best Time to Visit for Orange Lovers   The best time to experience Mallorca’s citrus diversity is between February and May. During these months, the orange groves are in full bloom or ready for harvest.

Mallorca Travel Guide: Exploring an Island in Four Days (German Edition)

03/04/2025
  Mallorca Travel Guide: Exploring an Island in Four Days (German Edition)   As avid lovers of beautiful Mallorca, we want to take you on an entertaining and educational journey through the island's history. We will experience unique nature and discover impressive evidence of civilization. Seven million almond trees, centuries-old olive groves, and midwife toads on one hand; charming coasts and impressive rock formations on the other. But also cathedrals, monasteries, and castles will make your stay in Mallorca unforgettable.

The authors have put together four tours to explore the island. These day trips have been tested with audiences multiple times and received excellent feedback. In addition to visual highlights, there is plenty of background knowledge. But it is not presented in a dry, dusty way, rather casually and clearly as anecdotes. Accompanying our descriptions of local and world history, we have taken impressive photographs. We hope you have a wonderful time on this dream island!   Click here for the book:  https://www.amazon.in/Mallorca-Erkundung-einer-Insel-German-ebook/dp/B0CXJ781J7
