Diary
January The festival of San Sebastián, the patron saint of Palma. Revellers also doff their party caps to San Antonio Abad during this month. As he's the patron saint of animals, you can expect all manner of pet processions and animal-blessing ceremonies. If you're in the mood for carnival, this part of the world gets busy with fancy dress and brightly coloured floats during the weekend before Lent for Sa Rua. Semana Santa, holy week, is an even bigger do: Palma holds processions every day, and the smaller towns have festivities too. July Those after a knees-up should find their way to Valldemossa, when it's time to honour Santa Catalina Tomàs, the patron saint of Mallorca.
