Tips

. . .
1/3

For a truly memorable trip to Majorca head for the little town of Binissalem in late September to celebrate the end of the grape harvest. The party involves hundreds of participants hurling over 9,000 kilos of rotten fruit at each other.

2/3

Majorca has some of Spain's best Christmas markets. Think roasted chestnuts, choirs and plenty of food and drink in Palma's main squares. Watch out for the nativity scenes, some of which date back to the 16th century.

3/3

For the best views of the Bay of Palma, climb the hill to Bellver castle. Watch those steps though; with 600 of them they could play havoc on your knees.
