Easter on Mallorca - that means wide beaches, blossoming almond trees and quiet celebrations under stone arches.
If you would like to attend church services on public holidays, you have many options: from solemn masses in Palma's cathedral to atmospheric celebrations on Playa de Palma or in Peguera.
In the Palma Cathedral Easter services are held in Spanish - impressive, even if you don't understand every word.
