7 clear facts why December is great in Mallorca!

The summer months attract most tourists to Mallorca, when the beaches are illuminated by the sun and the nightlife is vibrant. But the true charm of the Balearic island is particularly revealed in October, November and December. The low season promises not only peace and relaxation, but also an authentic experience away from the crowds. Here are some detailed reasons why Mallorca is worth visiting in winter.

A winter jacket is not required as the mild temperatures do not require thick winter clothing, which makes luggage much easier. Despite cooler temperatures, the climate in December in Mallorca is more pleasant than in many other parts of Europe. With an average of five to six days of rain, the island offers enough hours of sunshine to brighten the winter mood. The average daytime temperature is 17 degrees Celsius, while the sea has a pleasant water temperature of around 14 degrees. At night temperatures drop to 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, although it is slightly milder on the southwest tip and the eastern coast. Mallorca's winter weather may be changeable, but it is significantly milder than in Central Europe.

In winter, Mallorca presents a quieter side as partygoers have disappeared and the island belongs to its residents again. The streets are more Spanish and Catalan, and the cities exude a serenity. The beaches offer enough space to relax, and strolling through the cities is possible without the hassle of waiting. Not only those seeking peace and quiet get their money's worth, but also active holidaymakers. The mild temperatures in December allow for long hikes and bike rides without the heat of summer.

Mallorca in December offers a unique Christmas experience. Palma, the capital, shines in festive light from November 22nd and Christmas markets invite you to stroll. The traditional “Pueblo Español” market with over 80 stalls is particularly recommended. Here you can find Spanish delicacies, handicrafts and fashion accessories. The Christmas markets run from November 23rd. until 07.01. and take place in places such as Plaça Major, Plaça de la Reina, Passeig des Born and Plaça de Cort.
