For early risers and those who are staying out late, a heavy jacket is needed, especially if the wind begins to kick up. The average afternoon temperature will climb to 15°C (59°F).

Things to do in Sa Coma in December
Pollentia
For history lovers, the ruins of the Roman town of Pollentia are located just outside Alcudia. Dating back to 70BC, the city was the centre of Roman life on the island and is now the most important archaeological site on Mallorca. Visitors can see a portion of what was the residential area as well as the remains of the Forum that was home to three temples and a row of shops.
Serra de Tramuntana
With cold and windy conditions, December can be a harsh time to visit the region with many sites closed for the winter season. However, the roads don't shut down and one of the best ones to drive is through the Serra de Tramuntana. This breath-taking landscape should not be missed as the drive will take visitors from Valldemossa to Deja and through epic hairpin turns to Sa Calobra.
