Angel Sunday Majorca Festival
Known as ´Domingo del Angel´ the Sunday after Easter is celebrated in style through the streets of Palma de Majorca. A colourful procession is followed by a blessing and plenty of traditional food.
Dating back to the 15th century, this procession normally took place in order to feed the poor, and bread was blessed before being handed out.
Now the biggest festival in Majorca, the fun starts in the early hours of the morning when hundreds of people parade through the streets to the Castillo de Bellver where they are met by locals dressed as giants, a host of musicians and dancers and a vast array of local food to sample. Often continuing until late at night, there are also special games for the children.
