There is no need to talk much about this, it is enough to mention that there are several streets consisting entirely of shops, and this is not an allegory, but reality.

But the best place to shop is at the Festival Park outlet, everything is much cheaper here, and the goods are similar to those in the capital. Finding it is quite simple; you should go from the capital to the city of Inca. It is located right between them. It is very convenient to get here by train.

Local water park

When planning a trip, but have not yet decided on a resort, you should set your sights on Mallorca. Many people are tired of Turkey and in the fall it is not as attractive as in the “high season”, and Egypt has lost its position due to the unstable political situation.

Mallorca in September pleases with gentle weather, warm sea and the presence of a huge list of entertainment events. A huge advantage is the reduction in prices in hotels, which makes it possible to spend more on yourself.

September is considered one of the best periods of the year to travel to the Spanish island of Mallorca. In the first month of autumn, the island appears sunny, clear, hot (+25...+30°C) to its guests. Nights in September are not as stuffy as in summer, but still quite warm (+20...+23°C). There is practically no rain at this time, the sky is clear most of the month, and the water temperature in the sea reaches +26-27°C.

Luxurious clear weather suggests ideal beach holiday and allows you to make excursions around the island with no less comfort. Mallorca has no shortage of attractions and beautiful places. And first of all, it is worth visiting the heart of the island, the city of Palma de Mallorca. The beautiful town is hidden in a 20-kilometer bay, which is recognized as one of the most beautiful in the world. Palma has narrow streets, typical medieval squares, houses with charming Spanish patios and the magnificent Bellver Castle, as if floating above the bay.

Another important attraction of the island is the 14th-century Valdemos Monastery, most of whose cells are now used as museum sites.

The island is not that big, but it will take more than one day to explore it. Not only the coast of the island with its beaches, cliffs and cliffs is beautiful, but also its central mountainous parts. Active tourists can be recommended to climb the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, which stretch across the entire island, on clear September days. The mountain slopes are covered with wonderful olive groves and lush meadows, on which sheep peacefully graze, and observation platforms There are truly magnificent views of the surrounding area and the sea.

In September, the Marineland Dolphinarium and water parks are open, which will appeal to both adults and children. And, of course, all nightclubs, bars and restaurants are open in September. It seems that the residents of Mallorca know better than anyone in the world how to relax beautifully and correctly! And the most fun after sunset is in Magaluf, Arenal or Paseo Maritimo in the capital.

There are several amazing celebrations in Mallorca in September. For example, in the first half of September, Santa Ponsa celebrates the arrival of King Jaume I on the island: as part of the holiday, concerts and a large-scale reconstruction of the battle between the Moors and Christians are expected.

If your trip falls at the beginning of September, it is worth visiting the Mare de Déu de la Salut (processions and flower offerings in the island's capital) or the Melon Festival in Villafranca de Bonany - a festival dedicated to the beginning of the melon and fruit harvest.

At the end of the month, in the city of Binissalem, you can take part in the Grape Harvest Festival, which includes fun competitions, eating giant paella, food, performances, a parade and grape fights.

Boat trips, beach holidays, trips to the mountains, excursions to caves filled with stalactites and stalagmites, discos until the morning, as well as relaxing trips to small original villages - all these moments will be provided by a holiday in Mallorca in September. On the island you can spend your holiday quietly, with your family, basking on a clean beach and enjoying nature, or you can organize an endless raid on entertainment venues.

Despite the fact that Mallorca is a Spanish land, its island position has made some adjustments to the customs of the local residents. Each holiday or festival here has its own individual characteristics. Certain traditions have developed on the island. They love to make some noise here and always support any fun undertaking, and therefore every holiday is a special show, surrounded by colorful processions, performances, games and dances.

There are many fairs in Mallorca. Each of them is characteristic of a certain settlement. For example, in the municipality of Vilafranca de Bonany, a melon fair is held at the beginning of September. There are competitions for the biggest, tastiest, most unusual melon.

September on the island is rich in big holidays. In Santa Ponsa this month they celebrate the arrival of King Jaime I to Mallorca (such a happy event took place in 1229). This holiday is celebrated throughout the first half of September, with historical reconstructions, symbolic battles between Moors and Christians, at this time there is a show of giant dolls, many performances for children, and competitions. There are countless events planned for Mallorca Day. It falls on September 12, but the celebration is not limited to this date; it extends for more than one week. So the tour to Mallorca in September promises to be very interesting.

The Balearic archipelago is ruled by a temperate Mediterranean climate. The swimming season lasts about half of autumn here, and the sun bestows bright warm rays. At the same time, this time of year is not devoid of precipitation with short-term cold spells of varying frequency. But it should be borne in mind that weather conditions on all four islands may be variable. Consequently, there is always the opportunity to choose a resort with the most favorable climatic conditions.

Weather in the Balearic Islands in September

September rightfully gets the title of the hottest and sunniest autumn month. Although the “enthusiasm” of the fiery luminary is reduced by as much as two hours compared to August, it is still enough to get an even, beautiful tan, and in the case of a careless attitude towards one’s own health, even a burn. The level of ultraviolet radiation does not yet allow you to stop using photoprotective creams and hats. However, it is no longer as high as in summer, which is undoubtedly a huge plus for children and people with weak bodies.

Concerning temperature regime, maximum extremes are recorded in Ibiza, located exactly opposite the Costa Blanca. In the first few days of the month, the thermometer often hovers around the 30-degree mark. At the same time, there is no talk of heat - the sea breeze “Embat” has a good refreshing effect. True, in the evenings the same breeze significantly distorts the perception of temperatures: it seems that it is much cooler outside than it actually is. Almost similar weather prevails in Formentera, located 6 km south of Ibiza. In Mallorca and Menorca it is more restrained. And for a comfortable beach holiday, it is best to go in the first two weeks of September.

Regarding precipitation, as the month progresses, the sky becomes increasingly covered with gray clouds. But, fortunately, the rains are not very intense. In general there are 6 to 8 wet days.

Weather in the Balearic Islands in October

October in the Balearics, by our standards, is a very warm month. During the day it is quite possible to go to summer clothes. On some days, weather forecasters record around +25..+26 °C.

Most often, of course, such weather happens in the period from 1 to 15 (however, it also happens the other way around, as in 2013, when the warmest days were from October 12 to 30). And this is the best time to swim in the sea, because later the air cools down more and more every day, and even with the slightest breeze there is no longer any desire to “be naked” on the beach (not to mention going into the water).

However, even if it is available, it will not always be possible to implement it, since the volume of precipitation increases. According to long-term weather archives, the number of “wet” days fluctuates in the range of 10-12. The driest islands are Ibiza and Formentera.

Weather in the Balearic Islands in November

In November the air continues to slowly cool. If until the second decade during the day it is still quite possible to flaunt in sweaters and T-shirts with short sleeves, then in last week the likelihood of this is very low.

The winds and increased level humidity. A thick, insulated jacket with a hood will perfectly protect you from the former. An umbrella will also come in handy: a little more than a third of the month is marked by showers. As for the beach holiday, it has already come to an end. The only people you can meet “in the water” are surfers.

This month can be called universal in terms of rest, because... it successfully combines beach and leisure, sightseeing and clubbing, shopping and festivals.

The first begins at the end of August with an exhibition of giant dolls. The main action takes place on the streets of Santa Ponsa (Pinada Square): awards ceremony for festival participants, various theatrical performances (many for children), film screenings, etc. It all usually ends on the night of fireworks at the beginning of autumn. All this is in honor of the Christianization of the island with the support of King Jaime, who sailed here at one time.
