Palma Christmas market gets 500-square-metre ice rink
Mallorca gets a 500-square-metre outdoor natural-ice rink in front of Mallorca Cathedral when Palma’s Christmas market opens on 21 November. Work on the market in Parc de la Mar begins this week. Called Parc de Nadal, it opens alongside the Christmas lights switch-on and runs until 7 January.
Food stalls and opening hours
The market will have 61 stalls serving food from different parts of the world, along with crafts, music and activities for families. It is part of the “Palma, tot un centre de diversió” campaign organised by Pimeco and Afedeco.
Organisers say it will open from 15.00 to 22.30 Monday to Thursday, and from 15.00 to 23.30 on Fridays. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, it will open from 13.00 to 23.30.
A Sunday stamp hunt
Every Sunday, families can take part in “Els set guardians”, a hunt for seven stamps around Parc de la Mar. Anyone who collects them all gets a prize, while money raised from the activity goes to social organisations.
On Sunday afternoons, a performance will tell the hunt’s story against a Disney castle backdrop.
