Love Mallorca and shopping?

Posted on by

 

 

If you enjoy shopping while on holiday then taking your next break on a Villa Parade holiday in Mallorca could be just the ticket, because recently many of the shops in the island’s capital, Palma, were granted permission to open on Sundays and on certain public holidays.

Now many more shops and areas within the city are asking for the hours to be extended to Sundays and publics holidays throughout the year, rather than the current April to October timescale.

It was the Easter holiday season that many shops saw their takings increase by 10% and many restaurants and cafes by 40%.

So next time you are staying in a villa in Mallorca, you will find even more great shopping opportunities!

The Ses Salines May Fair

Posted on by

With May fairs being extremely popular in the Balearic Islands, Ses Salines is just one of many fairs taking place this year to coincide with May 1st. Like many towns and villages, Ses Salines is hosting its own fair, incorporating a special festival and market.

This year’s Ses Salines fair is particular important as it marks 25 years of celebrations – each year more and more activity is added, making the event a truly magnificent day out for day visitors and villa holidaymakers.

Not only will visiting the May Fair give you an insight into Mallorcan arts and crafts, commercial and agricultural shows, but close by is the Botanicaptus botanical gardens, which are the largest in Europe, certainly an added extra to your day out.

To see the city for yourself, why not make sure your next break is in one of our fantastic villas in Mallorca, with so much to see and do you certainly can’t go wrong.
