Top 10 things to do in October in Palma de Majorca
The long summer nights come to an end, but that doesn’t mean Mallorca’s leisure options dwindle. In fact, autumn is one of the best seasons to enjoy the island without the hustle and bustle of mass tourism, with pleasant temperatures and the chance to continue enjoying outdoor activities. If you’re planning an autumn getaway to Mallorca, here’s a selection of experiences that will make your trip unforgettable.
1. A Glass of Wine with a Sea View
Nothing beats enjoying the autumn sun with a glass of wine in hand. Mallorca is renowned for its high-quality wines, with iconic wineries in the Binissalem and Pla i Llevant regions.
If you’re staying in Palma, we recommend visiting the Santa Catalina Market, where you can sample a selection of the best local wines. But if you want to take the experience to another level, Es Princep’s restaurants offer the perfect pairing between local gastronomy and an exclusive wine list, specially curated for lovers of fine taste.

2. Festivals, Fairs, and Live Culture
Autumn kicks off with the popular Nit de l’Art, an event that transforms Palma into a grand open-air art gallery. Additionally, during this season, various fairs are held in the island’s villages, such as the Fira del Vi in Pollença or the Sobrasada Fair in Campos. If you love art and culture, you can also explore the city’s museums and galleries, including Es Baluard, a leading contemporary art center in the Balearics.

3. Getting Lost in Palma’s Old Town
The mild weather invites you to stroll through Palma’s charming streets, discover boutique shops, and enjoy cozy cafés. Without a fixed itinerary, we recommend wandering through the labyrinth of streets in the old town and visiting hidden gems like Plaça Cort or Palau March, which offer some of the best views of the city.
4. Relaxation and Wellness at Es Princep’s Spa
If you’re looking for a moment of absolute relaxation, treat yourself to a spa experience. Whether after a walk through Palma or a day of exploring the island, nothing is better than a massage or a hydrotherapy circuit to recharge your energy.

6. The Festival of the Virgins in Palma
One of Mallorca’s most curious autumn traditions is the Festival of the Virgins, where girls serenade boys and, in return, receive fritters and hot chocolate. During this celebration, Palma’s streets fill with sweet stalls, creating a unique and cozy atmosphere.
7. Exploring Local Markets
Markets offer a window into authentic Mallorca. Visiting village markets is the best way to experience the local culture and taste products like sobrasada, artisan cheeses, and Mallorcan herbs. We recommend starting early to soak in the authentic atmosphere of places like the Sineu Market, one of the oldest and most iconic on the island.
8. A Tour of Palma’s Museums
If autumn brings cooler days, a perfect plan is to explore Palma’s museums and art galleries. From the renowned Es Baluard to the Fundació Miró, the city’s cultural offerings are impressive. Keep in mind that most museums close on Mondays, so plan your visit accordingly.
9. A Walk Along Portixol
Portixol is one of Palma’s most charming spots. This former fishing district has evolved into a trendy area with restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. It’s ideal for enjoying a coffee or a snack while watching the waves roll in.
10. Visiting the Majestic Palma Cathedral
No visit to Mallorca is complete without seeing La Seu, Palma’s Cathedral. Considered the tallest Gothic structure in Europe, its interior is an architectural masterpiece featuring a stunning rose window that projects a breathtaking display of colorful light. Don’t forget to visit at sunset for an unforgettable experience!
