There are moments that deserve more than a photograph. This summer, Mallorca invites us to stop, breathe and look up. Where will you be on 12 August?
LOOK UP IN MALLORCA: A SIMPLE INVITATION TO EXPERIENCE SUMMER DIFFERENTLY
There are moments that deserve more than a photograph
They deserve our full attention.
A sunset over the Mediterranean.
The first light appearing behind the Bay of Palma.
A quiet summer evening beside the sea.
The silhouette of the Serra de Tramuntana beneath a changing sky.
A conversation that makes everyone forget the time.
A rare celestial event capable of making an entire country stop and look upwards.
We live surrounded by images, messages, meetings, notifications and endless demands for our attention. We photograph our meals before tasting them. We check the time without noticing the sky. We record moments while they are still happening.
Perhaps that is why the simplest invitation can sometimes be the most powerful:
Look Up.
On 12 August 2026, the sky will give Spain and Mallorca an extraordinary reason to do exactly that.
But this is not only a story about an eclipse.
It is a story about Mallorca.
About travelling without rushing.
About looking at the Mediterranean with our own eyes.
About discovering Palma beyond a list of places to visit.
About remembering that holidays are not measured only by how many things we manage to do, but by how deeply we experience them.
From an island defined by light, sea and open horizons comes a simple invitation:
Pause.
Breathe.
Be present.
Look up.
What does LOOK UP mean?
LOOK UP is not intended to be a conventional advertising campaign.
It is not a promise that every journey will transform your life.
It is not another demand for your attention.
It is an invitation to recover it.
The idea was born in Mallorca from a simple observation: we spend much of our lives looking down.
At a telephone.
At a screen.
At a diary.
At a map telling us where to go next.
Meanwhile, the sky remains above us.
Every day.
Everywhere.
Constantly changing and asking for nothing in return.
The same sky follows us from home to work, from one country to another, from the city to the beach and from the mountains to the sea.
Yet when did we last stop for five uninterrupted minutes simply to look at it?
LOOK UP invites residents and visitors to pause on 12 August and share a moment beneath the same sky.
The eclipse provides the occasion.
Mallorca provides the setting.
The meaning, however, goes much further.
Because after 12 August, the sky will still be there.
There will still be sunrises worth waking up for, sunsets worth waiting for and nights when the stars remind us how small—and how connected—we are.
Why Mallorca is an island that makes you look up
Some destinations are remembered through monuments.
Others through flavour, music or architecture.
Mallorca is often remembered through light.
Mediterranean light transforms the island constantly.
It touches the pale stone façades of Palma in the morning. It reflects across the harbour at midday. It softens the mountains in the late afternoon. It turns the sea silver, blue, turquoise, violet and gold, sometimes within the same day.
The island does not present only one landscape.
It offers many versions of itself.
There is the urban Mallorca of Palma, with its historic streets, contemporary restaurants, galleries, markets, marinas and cultural life.
There is the coastal Mallorca of beaches, coves, sailing boats, promenades and fishing villages.
There is the rural Mallorca of almond trees, olive groves, vineyards, stone walls and quiet inland towns.
There is also the dramatic Mallorca of the Serra de Tramuntana, the mountain range that runs parallel to the north-western coast and whose cultural landscape was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2011. Its terraces, dry-stone constructions, farms and historic water-management systems tell a centuries-old story of adaptation between people and the land.
Each area offers a different reason to lift your eyes.
In Palma, you look towards the cathedral rising beside the sea.
In the Tramuntana mountains, you look towards cliffs, peaks and ancient terraces.
In Can Pastilla and Playa de Palma, you look across long stretches of Mediterranean coastline.
In Port de Sóller, you follow the curve of the bay.
In Deià and Valldemossa, your eyes move between stone houses, mountains and sky.
At Cap de Formentor, the landscape seems to continue beyond the edge of the island.
And from the western side of Palma, you can watch the city, harbour and bay change character as the sun moves across the Mediterranean.
Mallorca does not merely offer things to see.
It changes the way you look.
Mallorca holidays: more than sun and beaches
For generations, travellers have chosen Mallorca for its climate and coastline.
Those remain essential parts of the island’s appeal. A warm summer morning beside the Mediterranean, a swim in clear water or an afternoon beneath a parasol are still among the simplest pleasures of a holiday in Mallorca.
But the island has evolved into a far more diverse destination.
Today, people travel to Mallorca for:
Weekend city breaks in Palma.
Summer holidays beside the Mediterranean.
Art, architecture and cultural heritage.
Gastronomy and local produce.
Cycling and outdoor training.
Hiking in the Serra de Tramuntana.
Golf holidays.
Sailing and water sports.
Wellness experiences and yoga.
Romantic escapes.
Business meetings and corporate events.
Remote working and extended stays.
Music, exhibitions and festivals.
Winter sun and longer low-season visits.
This diversity is one of Mallorca’s greatest strengths.
You can spend the morning walking through Palma’s historic centre, have lunch near the sea, visit a contemporary art space in the afternoon and end the day watching the sky change colour across the bay.
You can use Palma as a base and discover a different part of the island each day.
Travel north towards Alcúdia and Pollença.
Drive west into the Serra de Tramuntana.
Explore Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller or Banyalbufar.
Travel east towards Artà, Capdepera or Mallorca’s quieter coves.
Discover inland towns such as Sineu, Petra, Alaró or Santa Maria del Camí.
Or remain in Palma and allow the city to reveal itself gradually.
The official tourism platform for Palma presents the city as a destination combining heritage, museums, beaches, gastronomy, shopping and Mediterranean culture—and that mixture is precisely what makes Palma work so well for both a short escape and a longer Mallorca holiday.
The challenge is not finding something to do.
The challenge is accepting that you cannot experience everything at once.
That is where a different way of travelling begins.
Slow travel in Mallorca: the luxury of not rushing
The expression slow travel can sound like another tourism trend.
In Mallorca, it can be something much simpler.
It can mean staying at breakfast a little longer because the view is changing.
Walking instead of taking a taxi.
Returning to the same café because someone remembered your name.
Spending an afternoon at one beach instead of trying to visit five.
Choosing a neighbourhood and discovering it street by street.
Taking time to speak to local people.
Eating seasonal food.
Watching the fishing boats, ferries and sailing yachts cross Palma Bay.
Allowing part of the day to remain unplanned.
Slow travel is not necessarily about travelling slowly in a literal sense.
It is about paying attention.
A holiday can become another exhausting schedule if every hour is filled with reservations, transfers and attractions. The fear of missing something can prevent us from experiencing anything fully.
Mallorca rewards a less hurried approach.
The island is full of details that cannot be appreciated from a moving car or through a checklist:
The sound of shutters opening in the morning.
The scent of pine trees near the coast.
The changing temperature when evening arrives.
The stone under your feet in Palma’s old streets.
The first coffee on a terrace.
The conversation around a long Mediterranean lunch.
The quiet that follows sunset.
The sea breeze reaching the city.
The colour of the sky reflected in a hotel window.
These may not appear on a list of the “top ten things to do in Mallorca”.
They are often the moments people remember most clearly.
Palma de Mallorca: a Mediterranean city made for exploration
Palma is sometimes treated merely as the arrival point for a holiday elsewhere on the island.
That is a mistake.
The capital of the Balearic Islands deserves to be experienced as a destination in its own right.
Palma combines the energy of a European city with the openness of the Mediterranean. History, art, shopping, gastronomy, nightlife, beaches, marinas and residential neighbourhoods coexist within a relatively compact urban area.
The city changes as you move through it.
Near La Seu, the Cathedral of Mallorca, monumental architecture meets the sea.
Around the old town, narrow streets reveal courtyards, churches, traditional shops, galleries and traces of the cultures that have shaped the city.
La Lonja and the surrounding streets become animated in the evening.
Santa Catalina brings together market life, restaurants, cafés and an international atmosphere.
The revitalised seafront and Paseo Marítimo reconnect Palma with its bay.
To the west, areas such as Porto Pi, La Bonanova, El Terreno and Cala Major offer different perspectives on the city, harbour and coastline.
Palma is also a useful gateway for exploring the rest of Mallorca, but it should never be reduced to a place from which to leave.
Stay.
Walk.
Look around.
Look up.
The Bay of Palma: a landscape that never remains still
The Bay of Palma is one of the defining geographical and emotional elements of the city.
It is never exactly the same.
In the morning, the water can appear pale and almost metallic.
At midday, the Mediterranean becomes brighter and more intense.
In the afternoon, boats, ferries and cruise ships draw moving lines across the bay.
Towards evening, the changing light softens the buildings and mountains in the distance.
At night, the illuminated city is reflected across the water.
The bay connects Palma with the wider Mediterranean.
It is both landscape and movement.
People arrive through it, sail across it, work beside it, exercise along it and stop to contemplate it.
For visitors staying in Palma, the bay becomes a visual reference throughout the trip. It helps to understand the geography of the city: the cathedral and historic centre to one side, the harbour and Porto Pi to the west, beaches and coastal neighbourhoods extending around the water.
It also reminds us that Palma is not only a city beside the sea.
It is a city shaped by the sea.
Bellver Castle, Porto Pi and the western side of Palma
The western side of Palma offers a particularly interesting combination of history, nature, shopping, maritime activity and residential life.
Bellver Castle, set above the city and surrounded by woodland, is famous for its circular architecture and panoramic perspectives over Palma and the bay. The official Visit Palma guide highlights the castle’s 360-degree views, making it one of the city’s most recognisable places for understanding Palma’s relationship with the sea and surrounding landscape.
Below Bellver, the city descends towards the harbour.
The Porto Pi area combines the maritime character of the port with shops, restaurants and everyday city life. Nearby, the Paseo Marítimo provides access to Palma’s waterfront atmosphere, while Cala Major adds beaches, cultural references and another side of coastal Palma.
This part of the city can be especially convenient for travellers who want to combine:
Palma city breaks.
Access to the harbour and seafront.
Shopping at Porto Pi.
Visits to Bellver Castle and its forest.
Days at Cala Major or nearby coastal areas.
Excursions towards Calvià and the south-west of Mallorca.
Business meetings and corporate travel.
Cultural experiences and Mediterranean evenings.
It is an area from which the city and the wider island feel closely connected.
Hotel AMIC Horizonte: a base for discovering Palma and Mallorca
A good hotel should offer more than a bed.
It should help guests understand where they are.
Hotel AMIC Horizonte, located on the western side of Palma near Porto Pi and overlooking the Bay of Palma, provides a useful base for travellers who want to combine the city, the coast and excursions around Mallorca.
The hotel is not presented here as the only place from which to experience 12 August.
Mallorca offers many different landscapes, and every visitor should choose a location appropriate to their plans, mobility, local guidance and safe observation conditions.
The role of Hotel AMIC Horizonte is broader and more enduring.
It is a place from which to enjoy a holiday in Palma.
A place to begin the morning looking across the bay.
A place to rest after exploring the city.
A place from which to discover Mallorca’s beaches, villages, mountains, culture and gastronomy.
A meeting point for couples, independent travellers, groups, professionals, sports visitors and people staying in Palma for different reasons.
Its location connects guests naturally with several sides of the destination:
Porto Pi, for shopping, services and the maritime character of Palma.
Bellver Castle and Bellver Forest, for history, running routes, walks and panoramic city perspectives.
Paseo Marítimo, for the renewed waterfront atmosphere.
Cala Major, for the coast, beaches and cultural surroundings.
Palma city centre, for architecture, gastronomy, markets, shopping and nightlife.
The port and Bay of Palma, which define much of the hotel’s visual identity.
From Hotel AMIC Horizonte, a summer holiday can include long days exploring Mallorca and quieter moments simply appreciating the view.
That balance matters.
A trip should contain discoveries.
It should also contain pauses.
A hotel with an open horizon
The name Horizonte has always suggested more than a geographical line.
A horizon represents possibility.
It is where the visible world appears to end and the imagination continues.
At Hotel AMIC Horizonte, the Bay of Palma is not simply a backdrop. It forms part of the experience of staying there.
Guests can watch maritime activity across the harbour.
They can see the light change over the Mediterranean.
They can recognise how Palma wakes, moves and quietens throughout the day.
The hotel’s terraces, panoramic areas, pool, communal spaces, rooms and suites allow visitors to experience different versions of the same landscape.
But the contemporary identity of Hotel AMIC Horizonte also goes beyond views.
The hotel is developing as an open and versatile meeting point in Palma:
A hotel for city breaks and Mallorca holidays.
A base for active tourism and sports groups.
A location for meetings, presentations and corporate stays.
A home for Horizon The Gallery and artistic exhibitions.
A space connected with yoga, wellness and movement.
A place for music, gastronomy and Mediterranean social life.
A meeting point for international visitors and the local community.
A hotel from which stories about Palma and Mallorca can be told.
LOOK UP fits naturally within this identity.
Not because the hotel claims ownership of the sky.
But because a place called Horizonte should always encourage people to look beyond what is immediately in front of them.
What to do during a summer holiday in Palma
Summer in Palma can be as active or as relaxed as you choose.
A balanced itinerary might begin with the city and gradually expand towards the rest of Mallorca.
Walk through Palma’s historic centre
Begin near the cathedral and Parc de la Mar.
Walk without rushing through the old town.
Notice the façades, patios, churches and narrow streets. Visit La Lonja, continue towards Passeig del Born and explore the small streets connecting the city’s historic and commercial areas.
The purpose is not to cover every monument.
Choose a few places and leave time for discovery.
Experience Palma’s markets and gastronomy
Mallorca can be understood through what it produces and how people eat.
Markets, bakeries, cafés, restaurants and neighbourhood bars allow visitors to discover local ingredients and traditions.
Look for seasonal produce, Mallorcan olive oil, local cheeses, almonds, citrus, wines and classic island recipes.
Try an ensaïmada.
Take time over lunch.
Allow dinner to begin later than usual.
Mediterranean gastronomy is not only about food. It is also about conversation and time shared around a table.
Discover contemporary and historic art
Palma’s relationship with art extends from historic architecture to contemporary galleries and cultural institutions.
The legacy of Joan Miró, the exhibitions found throughout the city and independent artistic spaces all contribute to Palma’s creative character.
At Hotel AMIC Horizonte, Horizon The Gallery brings art into the life of the hotel and connects visitors with artists, exhibitions and cultural conversations.
Art does not need to be separated from travel.
It can be encountered in the places where people sleep, meet, eat and move.
Walk or run around Bellver
Bellver Forest provides an opportunity to move through nature without leaving Palma.
The area is popular for walking and running, and the castle offers a powerful perspective on the city and bay.
It is also an ideal reminder that even within an urban holiday, moments of greenery and quiet are close by.
Spend time beside the Mediterranean
Choose a beach or coastal area according to the type of day you want.
Cala Major is close to western Palma.
Can Pastilla and Playa de Palma offer a long coastal environment suited to walking, cycling and seaside activity.
Other parts of Mallorca provide smaller coves, family beaches, dramatic coastal scenery and quieter swimming spots.
Respect local access guidance, environmental rules and changing sea conditions.
The Mediterranean is not merely scenery.
It is a living environment.
Take an excursion into the Serra de Tramuntana
The Serra de Tramuntana offers one of Mallorca’s most distinctive landscapes.
Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller, Fornalutx, Banyalbufar, Estellencs and Pollença each offer different relationships between mountains, architecture and island life.
The region deserves more than a rapid photograph from a viewpoint.
Walk through a village.
Eat locally.
Learn about the dry-stone landscape.
Notice how generations adapted farming and water systems to difficult terrain.
Travel respectfully, especially during the busy summer months, and consider public transport or organised options where appropriate.
Leave space for nothing
This may be the most important recommendation.
Do not plan every minute.
Leave an afternoon open.
Return to the hotel.
Swim.
Read.
Have a drink.
Watch the bay.
Speak to the person travelling with you.
Or simply sit quietly.
Sometimes the best Mallorca experience is the one you did not schedule.
12 August 2026: a remarkable evening in the Spanish sky
On Wednesday, 12 August 2026, Spain will experience the first total solar eclipse visible from the Iberian Peninsula in more than a century.
The path of totality will cross Spain from west to east, passing through areas from Galicia to the Balearic Islands. According to Spain’s National Geographic Institute, the eclipse in Palma will begin at approximately 19:38, reach its maximum at around 20:32, shortly before sunset, with the Sun extremely low above the horizon. Exact circumstances depend on location and should always be checked through official astronomical resources.
This is significant.
But it also creates practical challenges.
Because the Sun will be so low in Palma, visibility will depend heavily on the precise location, orientation, terrain, buildings, local conditions and weather.
For that reason, LOOK UP does not declare one single “best place” to watch the eclipse in Mallorca.
Nor should anyone assume that an attractive viewpoint automatically provides safe or unobstructed visibility.
Visitors should consult official information, local authorities, astronomical organisations and updated weather conditions before deciding where to experience the event.
Some people may choose an organised observation point.
Others may join an astronomical association or official activity.
Some will experience the evening from a coastal area with appropriate guidance.
Others may simply appreciate the atmosphere of a rare summer evening in Mallorca without attempting direct solar observation.
The objective is not to compete for one viewpoint.
The objective is to experience the moment safely, calmly and respectfully.
How to observe a solar eclipse safely
LOOK UP is an invitation to be present, but presence must always include responsibility.
Looking directly at the Sun can cause permanent eye damage. Ordinary sunglasses, dark glass, photographic filters and improvised materials are not adequate protection.
The Spanish National Geographic Institute warns that direct solar observation can damage the retina without producing pain and that optical devices such as binoculars, cameras and telescopes can intensify the risk when not fitted and operated with appropriate solar equipment.
For safe eclipse observation:
Follow the instructions of official astronomical and public authorities.
Use certified solar-eclipse viewers from a reliable provider.
Check that protective glasses are undamaged before use.
Never look directly at the Sun through ordinary sunglasses.
Never use binoculars, telescopes or camera lenses without specialist solar filters correctly installed.
Supervise children carefully.
Do not drive, stop illegally or enter restricted land in search of a viewpoint.
Avoid blocking roads, emergency access or residential areas.
Respect the landscape and take all waste away.
Confirm updated conditions and timings for your exact location.
During totality, different rules may apply for the very brief period when the Sun is completely covered, but the transition happens rapidly. Anyone without specialist knowledge should participate through an organised observation led by experienced professionals.
Looking up should be memorable for the right reasons.
The eclipse is the moment, not the whole story
The eclipse will last for a limited time.
LOOK UP should not.
That distinction is central to this project.
We do not want people to look at the sky only because an exceptional event tells them to do so.
We want the event to remind us of something we can continue doing afterwards.
Look up when the first cloud appears after weeks of summer blue.
Look up when morning light reaches the buildings of Palma.
Look up when an aircraft crosses the sky.
Look up during a walk through Bellver Forest.
Look up from a terrace beside the Bay of Palma.
Look up when the moon appears over the sea.
Look up when someone beside you says, “Have you seen that?”
Look up because attention is one of the most valuable things we possess.
Where we direct it shapes how we experience the world.
Why holidays should help us recover our attention
People often say they need a holiday because they are tired.
But modern tiredness is not always purely physical.
It can come from constant interruption.
From the feeling that something always requires a response.
From consuming more information than we can process.
From moving continuously between tasks without ever feeling that one is complete.
A meaningful holiday can create distance from that rhythm.
Not necessarily through a digital detox or a strict set of rules.
Simply through a different focus.
The sea instead of the screen.
A conversation instead of a notification.
A walk instead of a feed.
A real horizon instead of another image of one.
Mallorca offers many environments where this shift can happen naturally.
The rhythm of a beach morning.
The concentration required on a mountain path.
The silence inside a historic building.
The sensory detail of a local market.
The movement of boats across the bay.
The sound of evening arriving.
LOOK UP is not against technology.
Technology helps us travel, communicate, navigate, learn and preserve memories.
The invitation is simply to choose moments when the experience comes first and the recording comes afterwards—or not at all.
Some moments do not need proof.
Being there is enough.
A song connected to the same idea
Music will become part of LOOK UP.
A song can carry an idea beyond a page and allow people to experience the same emotion in different places.
The song “Levanta la Vista” was created around the same invitation:
To pause.
To look upwards.
To recognise that people in different cities, countries and circumstances still share the same sky.
The song is not intended to replace the sounds of the moment.
Nor does anyone need to listen to it to participate.
Some people will choose silence.
Some will listen to the sea.
Some will hear the voices of friends and family.
Others may play the song as a personal soundtrack to the evening.
Each form of participation is valid.
The essential action remains beautifully simple:
Look up.
As the project develops, this pillar article will connect with the official song, multilingual versions of the manifesto, images, videos and stories from people participating in Mallorca, Spain and other places.
But everything will continue to return to the same idea.
There are moments that deserve our full attention.
Born in Mallorca, shared with everyone
LOOK UP has a clear geographical origin.
Mallorca.
That matters.
Universal ideas become stronger when they begin somewhere real.
This one begins on a Mediterranean island where the relationship between people, sea, light and horizon is part of everyday life.
Its Mallorcan expression is:
Alça el cap.
In Spanish:
Levanta la vista.
In English:
Look Up.
In French:
Levez les yeux.
In German:
Heb den Blick.
In Italian:
Alza lo sguardo.
The wording changes.
The gesture remains the same.
No language owns the sky.
No hotel owns the horizon.
No brand owns the emotion of looking upwards.
The project may be born in Mallorca, but it is open to anyone who recognises its meaning.
A resident of Palma.
A visitor from Berlin.
A family in Madrid.
A couple in Paris.
A photographer in London.
A traveller in Rome.
A child seeing an eclipse for the first time.
Someone remembering one they experienced many years ago.
Everyone brings a different story.
Everyone looks at the same sky.
Frequently asked questions about LOOK UP, Mallorca and 12 August
What is LOOK UP?
LOOK UP is an open invitation born in Mallorca encouraging people to pause, breathe and pay attention to the sky and the world around them. The eclipse on 12 August 2026 provides a special shared moment, but the message is designed to continue beyond that date.
Is LOOK UP an eclipse campaign?
The eclipse is an important part of the story, but LOOK UP is broader. It is about presence, slow travel, shared experiences and recovering the habit of looking beyond our screens.
Will the solar eclipse be visible from Mallorca?
Yes. The path of the 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse crosses Spain and reaches the Balearic Islands. In Palma, the maximum occurs close to sunset with the Sun very low above the horizon, making exact location, local terrain and visibility especially important. Always consult official information for your precise location.
Is Hotel AMIC Horizonte the official viewing location?
No. Hotel AMIC Horizonte is presented as an excellent base for enjoying a Palma and Mallorca holiday. LOOK UP does not claim that the hotel is the main or official eclipse observation location. Observation plans should follow official astronomical, safety and local guidance.
Where should I watch the eclipse in Mallorca?
There is no universal answer. The suitability of a location depends on its orientation, horizon, terrain, capacity, access restrictions, weather and safety management. Organised activities led by astronomical or public bodies may be the most appropriate option for many visitors.
Do I need special glasses?
Yes. Direct observation of the Sun requires certified eclipse viewers or professionally approved observation methods. Standard sunglasses are not sufficient. Follow guidance from official astronomical authorities.
Can I take photographs of the eclipse?
Solar photography requires specialist filters and technical knowledge. Looking through an unprotected optical device can cause instant and irreversible eye damage. Seek professional advice before using cameras, binoculars or telescopes.
Is August a good time to visit Mallorca?
August is one of Mallorca’s busiest summer periods. Visitors should book accommodation, transport, restaurants and activities well in advance. The island offers beaches, culture, gastronomy, nightlife, sailing and warm Mediterranean evenings, but responsible planning is essential during peak season.
Why stay in Palma?
Palma offers a combination of city life, heritage, culture, beaches, gastronomy, shopping and access to the rest of Mallorca. It works well for short breaks, longer holidays, business travel and visitors who want more than a traditional beach-only stay.
Where is Hotel AMIC Horizonte?
Hotel AMIC Horizonte is located on the western side of Palma, near Porto Pi, overlooking the Bay of Palma. Its position is convenient for discovering the harbour area, Bellver, Cala Major, the Paseo Marítimo, Palma city centre and the south-west of Mallorca.
How can I participate in LOOK UP?
Participation can be as simple as pausing on 12 August, looking upwards safely and sharing the moment with someone. You can also tell us where you will be, share the manifesto, listen to the song when released or publish your own reflection using the project’s message.
Where will you look up from?
Perhaps you will be in Palma.
Perhaps in another part of Mallorca.
Perhaps on the Spanish mainland.
Perhaps somewhere the eclipse is only partially visible.
Perhaps you will not see it at all because of the weather.
The question still matters.
Because LOOK UP is not only about what appears in the sky.
It is about where we place our attention.
It is about deciding that one moment deserves to be experienced completely.
Without rushing towards the next thing.
Without needing to improve it.
Without needing to prove that it happened.
Just being there.
From Mallorca, we invite you to choose your place, follow official safety guidance and share the moment with the people around you.
On 12 August 2026, the sky will offer Spain and the Balearic Islands an extraordinary evening.
Mallorca will offer everything else:
The Mediterranean.
The mountains.
The villages.
The city.
The beaches.
The light.
The atmosphere.
The journey.
And when the moment arrives, wherever you have chosen to be, remember the invitation that began on this island:
Pause.
Breathe.
Be present.
Look up.
One island. One moment. One shared sky.
Where will you look up from on 12 August?
Born in Mallorca. Shared with everyone.
