Experience the magic of Mallorca’s festive season from Hotel Amic Horizonte
Every December, Palma de Mallorca transforms into a city of lights, flavours, and traditions — a Mediterranean Christmas filled with joy, history, and sea views.
From its charming markets and spectacular illuminations to concerts, traditions, and seaside walks, Christmas in Palma is all about atmosphere and authenticity.
🎁 1. Magical Christmas Markets
Palma’s Christmas markets are full of charm and local spirit:
-
Plaça Major and Plaça d’Espanya: traditional stalls selling handmade crafts, sweets, nativity figures and decorations.
-
Paseo de las Ramblas: a picture-perfect setting with Christmas lights and the aroma of roasted chestnuts.
-
Sa Feixina Park: one of the most spectacular family-friendly markets, with live music and activities for kids.
-
Puerto Portals: the most elegant Christmas market on the island — wooden stalls, mulled wine and sea breeze, a true winter fairytale.
🕯️ Amic Tip: Visit several markets in one evening and end the walk with a hot chocolate overlooking the bay.
🌟 2. The Christmas Lights Walk
From late November, Palma shines brighter than ever.
Follow this Amic Horizonte recommended route:
👉 Start in Calle Olmos, continue along Las Ramblas, stroll through El Born (a tunnel of golden lights!), pass Jaime III, the Cathedral, La Lonja, and finish by the sea.
Other must-see streets: Calle 31 de Desembre and the Paseo Marítimo, where the lights reflect on the Mediterranean.
💡 Amic Tip: Leave the hotel at sunset and let the Christmas lights guide you through the city.
🕯️ 3. Mallorcan Traditions You’ll Love
Christmas in Palma is a blend of faith, folklore, and celebration:
-
The Nativity Route through the city: from Plaça Major to the Town Hall, with beautiful handmade cribs in churches and courtyards.
-
Midnight Mass (Misa del Gallo) on Christmas Eve, featuring the UNESCO-protected “Sibil·la” chant.

New Year’s Eve in Plaça de Cort, where locals gather to count down to midnight.

San Silvestre Race, the joyful tradition of running through Palma to close the year.
-
The Drac de Na Coca celebration and Christmas events at Pueblo Español, with concerts and workshops for families.

The shopping streets of Jaime III, Calle Unión and San Miguel offer both local brands and international names.

Artisan stores and local delicacies for authentic souvenirs.
