Mallorca is undoubtedly a summer paradise, but it’s a charming place to visit in the winter too! It’s not only the beaches that are worth visiting; winter in Mallorca brings many fascinating landscapes and all kinds of activities to enjoy. So, what can you do in Mallorca in the winter? In this article, we’ll tell you the most popular activities for those who visit the island during the winter months.
If you enjoy a few scares at night with some spine-tingling stories, then the free Mysteries and Legends of Mallorca tour is for you. It’s a 2-hour tour starting at 6pm on Saturdays in the Plaza de España, which will either scare you to death or leave you wanting more!
Learn about the crimes, legends, and oddities of the old town’s narrow streets, the history of the Mallorcan living dead and many other secrets hidden in the island's buildings and churches. Are you up for it?
If you’d like to do some exercise, what could be better than trying out Mallorca’s hiking routes? They’re especially recommended if you want to keep warm in the winter in Mallorca. One of the most popular places to visit on foot are the ruins of the Castell d'Alaró, located on the summit of the Es Puig d' Alaró mountain. These ruins were declared to be of national interest, and this is one of the three rocky castles on the island.
Although you can get there by car, the best way to do it is on foot while enjoying the incredible views along the way. You can start the route from Alaró or Orient. Not only will you get some great physical exercise, but you’ll also love the route and the natural surroundings.
Make sure you work up an appetite, because the best way to finish off this excursion is at the Es Verger restaurant, which you’ll find on the road that leads to the castle. Lamb is their speciality dish, and tourists and locals alike can vouch for how delicious it is. We recommend that you book your table before you start hiking, as it’s a very popular place to eat.
In addition to visiting Alaró Castle, there are many other options to enjoy winter in Mallorca and discover all its incredible scenery. Among the most popular hiking routes are:
If you want to enjoy the open air and discover Mallorca's incredible winter landscapes, then a route through the Serra de Tramuntana is an unmissable activity in Mallorca.
If you aren’t staying in Palma, then one of the essential excursions is to visit its old town – you’ll feel as if you’ve travelled back in time. Walking through the narrow streets of Palma with hardly any tourists is a luxury that few can enjoy. Once there, we recommend you visit La Seu, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, and the Es Baluard Museum of Contemporary Art.
What could be better than enjoying the exquisite winter food in Mallorca? The island has a wide variety of excellent quality gastronomy. Here’s a selection of the best restaurants in Mallorca that will give you a taste of the island:
Winter is synonymous with churros and hot chocolate, and just like in every Spanish city, you can also enjoy this beautiful winter tradition in Mallorca. The most emblematic places to do so are Ca'n Molinas, in Valldemossa and Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo, in Palma.
Mallorca is a great place for wine tourism, with more than 70 local wineries where you can taste a wide variety of local island wines. In addition to a great wine-producing tradition, Mallorca has two varieties with Designation of Origin: Binissalem DO and Pla i Llevant DO. Enjoy the winter in Mallorca with a great glass of wine.
Mallorca - an island to enjoy 365 days a year… it truly does have something for everyone!
