Mallorca, the jewel of the Mediterranean, offers much more than sun and beach. Autumn is a delightful season on the Balearic Island, with mild temperatures ranging from 27 to 15°C, fewer crowds, and an autumnal color palette that transforms the landscape. Whether you plan to visit Mallorca during this time of year or are a resident on the island, here are the top 10 plans and places to explore:

1. Hiking Routes in the Serra de Tramuntana

The Serra de Tramuntana is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. In autumn, the temperatures are ideal for exploring this spectacular mountain range. Enjoy panoramic views and the red and golden hues of the forests. 

2. Grape Harvest Festivals or "Festes de Sa Vermada"

Mallorca is known for its wine production, and in autumn, many wineries celebrate grape harvest festivals. Join in the grape-picking and savor local wines in a festive atmosphere. From September 6th to October 21st, exhibitions, sports events, contests, and parades make up the program of the LVII Festa des Vermar 2023, celebrated once again in the wine-producing municipality of Binissalem, centered around grape culture.

Mallorca is famous for its stunning caves, such as the Cuevas del Drach and the Cuevas de Artà. Autumn is the perfect season to explore these underground wonders and enjoy an underground concert.
