Christmas in Mallorca is celebrated in a traditional style, and is
noticeably less commercial than many other places, retaining strong Mallorcan
cultural ties and Catholic traditions. Christmas shopping is kept mainly in
December, and there is an atmosphere of tradition and spirituality throughout
the city of Palma, where you will find the most festive activities taking
place. The festivities in Palma begin on December 8th, with 'The feast of the
Immaculate Conception', a ceremony and performance of dance called los Seises.
Celebrations continue with various special days, until January 5th, Three
Kings Night, celebrated all over Spain. In Palma, there is a spectacular scene
as parades arrive by boat in the harbour.Christmas and Three Kings Fair in Palma. With markets at the Plaza
Major, Ramblas, Via Roma, Plaza de la Porta Pintada and Plaza España. Opens
from 10am to 9pm Monday to Sunday. Runs until 6 January 2014.
