Why Not Try Car Hire Palma In Majorca This Winter?
Most of the locals living in Majorca will tell potential visitors that autumn and winter is a great time to come to visit their gorgeous Balearic Island. The weather at this time of year can still be pleasant, with the overbearing heat of summer long gone; not only that but the multitude of sun-worshippers will be long gone. So why not arrange a car hire Palma, and take advantage of the empty streets and roads, and really enjoy the beaches, restaurants and local sights. Majorca is well furnished with a diversity of beautiful scenery, steeped in a varied history and home to the most welcoming of people.
There is certainly plenty to do at this time of year. Fiestas celebrating the successful harvest of all the summer's bounty are common - for instance in Binissalem, September sees the Festa des Vermar, with the grape harvest marked by floats and concerts; and the end of the harvest of the watermelon is celebrated in style in Vilafranca de Bonany, with the Festa del Melo.
Then there is the Festa de Virgin, which is held in Palma during October, and involves much eating of cakes, more singing and even more dancing. The Festa dies Butifarro in Sant Joan sees the tasty local variety of sausages also being eaten in rather large quantities. And November is a big party time across the island, as the holiday of Sant Carles is marked; he is the patron saint of Majorca, and most islanders will make the most of the opportunity afforded to have a great time.
It is also a good time for migrating birds, and many birdwatchers are drawn to Majorca to visit La Gola, a centre ideally located between the Albufera and S'Albufereta wetlands in the west of the island. The serenity of the lagoons, dunes and marshlands are well worth driving out to experience - and sure to appeal to migrating twitchers.
In the capital of Palma, they are quite rightly proud of their lovely open patio areas, and the most attractive have now been opened up as part of the Palma Patio Walk. These emblematic and pretty features of Palma are a great excuse to get out of the car, and amble around the less well known parts of the city.
So don't think that Majorca is only about the sun, sea and sand experience of the summer. There is much more to this gem in the Mediterranean Sea, and many of the marvels of Majorca can be experienced all year round. If you have a need for some winter sun, and little bit of an adventure, then come to Majorca, and get a car hire Palma sorted. Then hit the lanes and byways – it could be just the break the doctor ordered to beat those seasonal blues.
