Holy Week 2026 in Mallorca - Processions and tradition (March 29 to April 5)

The most solemn and visual week of the year: candles, drums and streets of the old town turned into a stage

Holy Week in Mallorca is experienced in Palma and in many towns on the island, with night processions, sacred music and a very special atmosphere in the historic center.

In addition, it marks that “change of season”: spring begins to feel and the bakeries are filled with typical sweets such as rolls, robiols and crespells.

✅ Why go
Because it is a very Mallorcan experience: candlelight processions, traditional tunics, drums and an atmosphere that is unlike anything else in the rest of the year.

❌ To keep in mind
Some days are holidays and the center may be more crowded or with streets closed during the processions. If you are going to see a procession in Palma, go with margin and with comfortable shoes.
