Everyone we knew discouraged us from flying to Mallorca at the end of May, saying that it would be cold and rainy and the sea would not have time to warm up. But we still took a risk and flew away on May 28, 2016 for 13 days.

The weather was wonderful. Don't listen to anyone. This is the most best time for Mallorca.

The sea was warm, especially near the shore, as fresh milk. We were on holiday in Alcudia. There is an excellent beach, fine white sand, gentle entry into the water and a warm sea. Great option for holidays with children.

In general, May is great, nature is beautiful, everything is in bloom, a riot of colors. There are not many people yet, there are no large crowds. The climate is pleasant, the sun is already warming well, but it still doesn’t burn too much. It's a very comfortable time for me to travel. And the prices for tickets are even lower.

Alcudia is completely covered in canals. Tourists sail on boats along the especially large ones that flow into the lake. Very interesting. Such a small Venice.

There are Roman ruins near the old town of Alcudia. A very interesting place.

In Alcudia itself everything is quite expensive, like everywhere else in Spain. For example, 1 kg of cherries costs 9 euros, i.e. 650 rubles.

Car rental is very developed in Mallorca. We took an Audi A1, it costs 30 euros per day. Gasoline is a little more than 1 euro per 1 liter. Very convenient refills.

Must visit cathedral in the island's capital, Palma. Entrance is 7 euros per person, but it's worth it. Very beautiful.

Mallorca is a beautiful island. If they tell you that there is nothing to do there in May, then this is not true. Don't listen to anyone, it's great there

Mallorca (or Mallorca) is one of the Spanish islands in the Mediterranean Sea, located at the same latitude as Madrid. Mallorca, for a moment, is the largest island in Spain by area: its coastline more than 550 kilometers! Mallorca is also a very popular resort. It may not be the most popular among our compatriots yet, but Europeans and the Spaniards themselves gladly go there on vacation. So what: beautiful nature, developed infrastructure, excellent hotels, quality beaches, good entertainment, some of the sights are beautiful!

You can go to the island at any time of the year for informational purposes, but since the island is considered a resort town, it is better to go there for this purpose in the warm season - from May to September. By the way, about May I would like to talk in more detail.

But first, let's look at the climate. A The climate in Mallorca is Mediterranean, which means the island has mild and rainy winters and hot, sunny and dry summer. Well, May is practically summer, but not quite yet. It's the beginning of the beach season, although it's not that hot yet. Average daily temperature in May on the island – +22-23°C during the day (the thermometer can jump to +26°C on any day in May, but it can also get colder to +16°C).
Nights in Mallorca in May also more or less warm - on average +16-17°C (there are also colder ones, up to +12°C, and warmer ones, up to +18°C). Temperature changes stabilize by the end of the month; in the second half of the month, drops down or up occur less and less often; it gradually gets warmer every day - you can feel the approach of summer. In principle, during the day you can walk around in a T-shirt or T-shirt, you can sunbathe on the beach, but in the evening on the island in May it is still cool for open clothing.

And still good, very sunny! You can practically not worry about the fact that there will be clouds in the sky, because there may be only 1 or 2 rainy days in the whole month, and if it starts to rain, it’s unlikely to rain all day. In general, May is one of the driest months of the year, along with July and August. In addition, in May it is no longer as windy as in winter and other spring months.

Mediterranean Sea in May It's not too warm yet near the island. The water, of course, is slowly warming up every day, but, in my opinion, this is not enough warm water for comfortable swimming. At the beginning of the month, the waters off the island can only reach +17°C, by the end of May - up to +20°C. As you can see, if you go swimming, it’s obviously at the end of May. Or better yet, just wet your feet and sunbathe on the beach: the sun is great and hot!

And one more thing: May, as the first month of the beach season, is not the most expensive time to travel. In general, it is in May that prices for trips are the lowest in the entire beach season, compared to prices for tours during the peak season, July and August.

What to do in Mallorca in May? To begin with, it would not be amiss to note that with the onset of warmer weather you will have much more opportunities for entertainment and excursions. And comfortable and not too much hot weather ideal for hiking and walking.

By the way, Mallorca is not only an island with beaches. This is an island with history! Mallorca has been inhabited since Paleolithic times! The island once belonged to Carthage, was a pirate base, it was captured by the Vandals (these are ancient Germanic tribes), Byzantium, Muslims from North Africa, bloody battles took place here, a terrible plague epidemic happened here, and what not happened here!

Some things remain from those times. For example, Bellver Castle in, which stands on a rock above the bay.

The beautiful Gothic castle was built in the 13th-14th centuries as a summer residence Spanish king Jaime II. Be sure to visit this wonderful building!
In general, be sure to go to Palma, the administrative center of the island, if you are not staying there. The city is very beautiful, with interesting architecture and its own atmosphere. No wonder Igra Krutoy and Shufutinsky dreamed about her. Oh how good it is for walking Old town!

Take a trip to Valdemos. This is a small village where about a couple of thousand people live. It is famous for one attraction: Valldemos Monastery, built at the very end of the 14th century, although what you can see today are rather elements of the 18th century. Individual cells and premises of the ex-monastery became museum spaces. Particularly interesting in this complex is the 19th century church and the monastery pharmacy with a medical pharmacy from the same time.

You can take a trip to Soller. The town itself is located about 3 km from the coast and from Port de Soller. The center of attention is Constitution Square (Plaça Constitució), where there is a number of cafes and benches, and in the middle there is a fountain. You can take the famous tram Tranvía de Sóller (which connects Sóller to Port) to this square from the Picasso and Joan Miró Museum.

Church of Saint Bartomeu(St. Bartholomew's) faces the east side of the square, and next to it is a beautiful Town Hall And Banco de Sóller, a wonderful old building with modernist metalwork made by a Catalan architect, a follower of Antoni Gaudí. The original building dates back to, for a minute, 1236! Soller is also famous for the houses built at the beginning of the 20th century by wealthy emigrants, and Gran Via is especially beautiful with its buildings in the then fashionable Art Nouveau style.

May is a real flowering of nature. Of course, the island is not tormented by such terrible winters as most of Russia, but still the seasons exist here too. In April-May, nature finally wakes up from its slumber, and you can see Mallorca in the most beautiful colors and aromas.

By the way, the natural attractions of the island are no less interesting. Visit Mallorca without traveling through the mountains Serra de Tramuntana- a real miss!

The mountain range stretching from the southwest to the northeast of the island is even included in the List of Objects World Heritage UNESCO. Even those who don’t particularly like mountains will enjoy a trip to the mountains. You will see a wonderful view of the coast and small beautiful towns in the mountains and at the foot of the mountains, you will walk among the olive trees or serene grazing sheep, breathe fresh air. The serpentines are not crazy, the ride is not scary.

There are a couple of interesting caves in Mallorca. Dragon Caves (Cuevas del Drach), probably the most famous. They are located on a coastline indented by bays, near the town of Porto Cristo.
Why the Dragon is clear: naturally, there is a legend that the cave has been guarded since time immemorial by a formidable dragon. The cave has 1300 meters of underground passages, a huge crystal clear lake, the water in which is always +20°C, a variety of stalactites and stalagmites. There are more Hams Caves near the Dragon Caves. The caves got their name (“fishhook”) thanks to stalactites of amazing shape - similar to bent fishhooks. There are also amazing sea caves not far from Porto Cristo, which can only be reached by water - and it’s also very beautiful there!

In May, Mallorca hosts a number of concerts and festivals. For example, "Victory Day over the Pirates" in Soller. The holiday dates back to the mid-16th century, when a victory was won over the pirates besieging the island. Therefore, these days colorful performances and folk festivals are held on the streets of Soller. Well Labor Day (May 1st), like everywhere else.

You can also have some good fun on the island in May. Firstly, they will start working actively discos and nightclubs. Secondly, amusement parks are opening (or continuing to operate), for example, Dolphinarium "Marineland" in Costa den Blanes, water park "Western Park Magaluf"(opens just in May) 15 minutes from Palma, water park "Hidropark Alcudia"(in Alcudia) with 15 different water attractions and 5 swimming pools. And here is the famous water park "Aqualand" opens from June, as a rule (but, in general, Western Park Magaluf is very similar to Aqualand (same owner)).
