🧘 Move & Balance

📅 Saturday 10 October 2026

🕐 6.00 pm

📍 Plaça Jacques Sasson, Magaluf (Calvià)

🎟️ Free activity — no booking required

💪 What to expect: Health and wellbeing

A session of mindful movement and balance led by Marga González and Pilar Sabater: gentle strength work, proprioception and stretching, adapted on the spot to whoever turns up. Just bring comfortable clothes.

🌅 Magaluf, a place to live

The programme runs from Thursday to Sunday, between 6 pm and 10 pm, alternating open-air cinema, concerts, dance workshops, storytelling, yoga and children's shows. Everything is free to attend and no booking is needed: just turn up at the square.

Plaça Jacques Sasson sits right beside Magaluf beach, on the promenade, with shade and open space to sit down. It is where the town has concentrated its commitment to local culture, aimed at residents of Calvià and visitors alike.

ℹ️ Good to know: an open-air activity with free entry until the space is full. Arriving a little early is a good idea and, for evening sessions, so is a light jacket.

✨ Free culture by the beach, in one of the liveliest squares in Magaluf.

Children's literature comes alive in Palma with a storytelling session designed to spark fantasy and a love for reading among families. 📚🐭

Storyteller Maria Barceló brings one of contemporary children's literature's most beloved tales to Biblioteca Encarnació Viñas.

📚 El grúfal, with Maria Barceló

📅 October 10, 2026

🕐 11:00 AM

📍 Biblioteca Encarnació Viñas, Palma

🎟️ Free activity

📖 A clever mouse and an extraordinary creature

"The Gruffalo" follows the well-known adventure of a clever mouse walking through the woods facing predators. In order to survive and escape from every threat, the little protagonist invents an imaginary, fearsome monster named the Gruffalo.

Through oral storytelling, this classic tale immerses children and adults alike in a delightful journey of wit, cunning tricks, and unexpected twists where appearances deceive.

📚 Storytelling at the library

The event takes place at Biblioteca Encarnació Viñas, situated on Plaça de Pere Garau, serving as a hub for public reading promotion and neighborhood community gatherings.

The session offers an inviting opportunity to enjoy shared storytelling led by Maria Barceló, introducing early readers to the pleasures of oral narration and books.

ℹ️ Good to know: Recommended for children aged 3 and above, accompanied by a responsible adult. For further information, contact 971 225 900 (ext. 3676) or email bibevinas@palma.cat.

✨ A charming family gathering to marvel at the clever wits of a famous little mouse.

Climb up to the terraces to see Palma from above: bay, bell tower, flying buttresses and rose window (guided tours in shifts)

If you are looking for a “wow” plan without leaving the center, this is one of the most special experiences: you tour the terraces of the Cathedral and see up close elements that are normally only appreciated from below (buttresses, rose windows, Gothic details), as well as brutal views of the bay and the city.

The visits are made in groups, with shifts every 30 minutes and lasting approximately 1 hour. 

✅ Why go
It is the typical plan that surprises even if you have already been to the Cathedral: it totally changes the perspective and feels very “Palma”. 

❌ To keep in mind
For security reasons, access is limited to people over 9 years old and it is not recommended if you have cardiorespiratory problems, vertigo or reduced mobility.
