Beautiful December Day!

A gorgeous day today; Monday 19th of December.  The photo was taken from Silver Point overlooking Puerto Portals marina.   The day started chilly (4 deg at 8am!!) but has crept up a comfortable 13 degrees now, with sunshine.  The week before Christmas and the weather is beautiful!

There are many Christmas Markets happening around the island at the moment including;  Deya, Puigpunyent, Valledemossa, Santa Ponsa, Alaro, Manacor and Puerto Portals. The city of Palma has several markets dotted around in; Plaza Mayor, Ramblas, Plaza Porta Pintada, Plaza Oliver and Plaza Espana.  Here you can buy gifts for Christmas, handicrafts, and usually festive food and drink.

Nearing Christmas on the island of Mallorca

Hard to believe that in just over a fortnight it will soon be Christmas. The city of Palma has its festive lights on decorating the streets and lanes from; 5.30pm to 9.30pm weekdays, until midnight at the weekends and on Christmas Eve until 04.00am.  The Christmas markets are in full swing and so too are the braziers to warm the customers as they sit outside on the pavement cafes enjoying a hot chocolate or "carajillo" (brandy or rum combined in coffee).  The shops are enticing shoppers with inviting window displays, and several festive gatherings are happening this month; one being the Swedish celebration of Santa Lucia, in Plaza Cort at 6.00pm on Tuesday Dec 13th.
