Three parades begin at 7pm, carrying futuristic costumes and bright colors through the streets of the city center. The routes: From Carrer Riera via Carrer Uni\u00f3 to Pla\u00e7a Joan Carles I, from Parc Sa Feixina to Avinguda Antoni Maura and from Carrer Sant Miquel via Pla\u00e7a Major to the Town Hall Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 7.40 pm, central squares are transformed into creative stages: Circ Bover performs acrobatics in Pla\u00e7a Mercat, dancers tell fairy tales in Pla\u00e7a de la Reina, and moving sand paintings reminiscent of the origins of the universe are created in the town hall square. The highlight follows at 8.30 pm with the big countdown, when the lights go on in 226 streets of Palma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Julbasar: Swedish Christmas in Palma<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>On Saturday and Sunday (November 23\/24), the Swedish Christmas market at Av.
