From the fire walk in Santanyí to the paprika fair in Felanitx: this weekend Mallorca is buzzing with festivals, markets, and seaside treats.
Where this weekend really crackles
The island shows its heart and soul in many corners: from small village festivals to maritime celebrations at the harbor. If you stroll through Santanyí today, you'll smell fried vegetables and almonds — and in the evening it gets exciting: fire walk on the Placeta de la Porta Murada, starting at 22:15. I was there last year; the flames and the music stay in memory.
Inca: City festival with a green focus
In the center of the island, Inca revolves around nature and environmental protection. There are information booths, workshops, and a small stage with local bands. If you stop by around 5 p.m., there's still plenty of time to visit the markets and try a piece of chestnut bread — the mood is relaxed, often with friendly, down-to-earth vendors who like to chat.
Port d'Andratx: Sea, Market and Music
At the harbor, the Fira Marinera is underway. Fish dishes, small boat exhibitions, and an arts and crafts market — all right by the water. Ideal for a stroll just before sunset, as the fishing boats sway in the light and somewhere a guitar is being played. Tip: try a portion of Lomo de atún when it's freshly grilled.
Felanitx celebrates the paprika
Tomorrow is the Fira del pebre bord in Felanitx. Paprika in all variations: pickled, grilled, or as paste. It is one of those festivals where after an hour you know ten people — and have a glass of local wine in hand. The market begins in the morning; plan to stop around 11:30 to have a coffee and soak up the market atmosphere.
The weather is autumnally cool in the morning, often with sunshine in the afternoon — a good setting for strolling and stalls without crowding. If you're traveling by car: expect slow traffic on popular routes (e.g., toward Santanyí or Port d'Andratx) between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Short and sweet: it's worth opening your calendar and heading out spontaneously. These festivals are down-to-earth, loud, tasty, and sometimes a bit chaotic — exactly what gives them their charm. Have fun exploring, and watch out for parking spaces in small towns, which fill up faster than you might expect.
