Mallorca In November...
November might actually be our favorite month. Mallorca is known for its beautiful coastline, secluded coves, limestone mountains, Spanish architecture, wineries, weekly markets, and stunning beaches. In November you add the local harvesting of olives for oil, mushrooms for meals, honey for sweetness, and grapes for ... well you know ;) To boot, prices are low and tourists have gone.

November Is For You If...
You are not a fan of crowds and tourism. Temperatures in the 60's and 70's are your comfort zone (16-23 celcius). Dining alfresco in a light sweater appeals to you. Learning about olive oil production would be an incredible experience, along with visiting local markets to taste everything in season. Historic walks in the old town, listening to stories from thousands of years ago, awakens your curiosity. You love nature, hiking, exploring. Shoulder seasons are your jam and saving money is music to your ears. Those in the know, know that Autumn is exceptional. Fun harvests and lively festivals abound, where you can mingle with the locals and immerse yourself in their way of life.
