In spring, Mallorca boasts enviable weather, making it the ideal time to take a car and visit towns such as Deià, known for its stunning sea views and artistic community; Fornalutx, set in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and considered one of the most picturesque villages in Spain; and Sóller, famous for its valley of orange groves and historic wooden train.

As the days are longer, you can choose to visit several of these villages in one day, or spend a relaxing day in the same village and take the opportunity to sample the most delicious local gastronomy.

2. Routes through the Serra de Tramuntana

As mentioned above, spring in Mallorca is an ideal time to enjoy a variety of activities throughout the island without the crowds. The mild climate at this time of year is ideal for hiking, avoiding the intense heat of summer. Spring also offers the chance to see the almond trees in blossom, a natural spectacle that attracts visitors from all over the world.

The Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers the possibility of following different routes adapted to all types of sportsmen and women (from the most experienced to the most inexperienced), making this the perfect opportunity to get in touch with nature.

Equally important is the Palma Aquarium, where you can enjoy the marine biodiversity of the Mediterranean on a less sunny day.

For history and nature lovers, Bellver Castle offers the perfect combination of culture and incredible panoramic views of the city and the sea. Spring is also the ideal time to explore the city's gardens, which are in full bloom and offer a spectacle of scents and colours.

What to know if you want to travel to Mallorca in spring

As the saying goes: "Spring fever", the arrival of good weather after winter, causes our senses to awaken and with them the desire to travel, do activities, etc. Therefore, before coming to Mallorca in the spring, we suggest that you consider the following tips:

• Suitcase: When packing your suitcase, remember to bring some clothes to protect you from the cool nights. Even though the days are warm in spring, the nights can be chilly. So don't forget to pack some warm clothes in your suitcase.

• Reservations: Although it's not summer, the spring season in Mallorca is very popular and the island tends to get busy around these dates. If you don't want to miss out on the accommodation that suits your needs, the activity that you have in mind or the restaurant that you have been looking forward to, we recommend that you book well in advance.
