Palma Christmas Markets 2025 – Where Gifting, Strolling and Feasting Are Fun

At the end of November Palma lights up again with strings of lights, palm trees with stars and that special, slightly salty sea air that surprisingly pairs well with roasted almonds. The 2025 Christmas markets mostly run from late November to early January and are spread across squares and promenades – ideal for an evening stroll after work or a family outing on Sunday. My favorite route is to start at Plaza Mayor, then wander up La Rambla and grab hot chocolate with churros along the way. On weekends the stalls fill up quickly, so it's best to come in the morning or late at night when the lights really shine. Practical tip: many markets accept cards, but small craft stalls welcome cash. At Pueblo Español be sure to check tickets in advance – there are usually shows, mulled wine included, and a noticeably more international atmosphere than the inner-city markets. For families, Puerto Portals and Port Adriano are worth a visit because of ice rinks and children's attractions. And yes: the Three Kings are a big finale here in early January – don't miss it if you stay longer.
