Mallorca This Month

April is the island in full bloom. Hotels and restaurants that have been shut since October open their doors, the countryside is lush and green, and the weather is warm enough for long days out – hiking and biking in the mountains, and long afternoons on quiet beaches. It’s also the month that brings Semana Santa (Easter Holy Week), the Orange Fair in Sóller, Sant Jordi Book Day, and – at the very end of the month – the Palma Boat Show.

There’s a lot going on, and most of it is free.
For families living on the island, April is often a favourite month. Most schools holiday for at least one to two weeks, and those first trips back to the beach feel like a well-kept secret.
