Festivals and events in Majorca, Balearic Islands

These traditional and religious events in Majorca are celebrated all around Spain and are very important for each village’s population.

They have not been lost with the passing of the years and it is a real treat for tourists to see such a crazy spirit of liveliness. The fiestas in Mallorca are well organised and it is admirable to see how the locals enjoy them.
See below for a list of some of the important dates when these festivities are celebrated on the island of Majorca:


-The famous carnival held in all the insular villages with processions and disguises (February)
