Many people do not consider travelling in December because of the holiday season; however, those who visit Mallorca will not be disappointed in their decision. It is beautiful no matter what time of year one visits.
Of course, the main attractions during the month of December have to do with Christmas. This would be an opportunity to shop either in the city of Palma or in one of the markets in cities such as Sineu, Santa Maria, Sa Pobla, or Alcudia for unique gifts to take home to loved ones.
