Mallorca in winter

°
Mallorca is not hot in winter.
Mallorca is ... warmish in winter.
Mallorca is very sunny in winter.


This morning (at 9 o'clock) our campo was stills partly white.
Outside temperature 4°.


Detail. Petty, indeed.


Winterly view: almond tree blossoming.


Almond flowers are not only pretty, they also have a decent scent.


Some of the flowers have a light rosa coloring.


But my camelia has the real rosa colour.


End of this week red is the colour on the island!


Decoration of a bakery shop in Artá.


Sant Antoni will be celebrated 16-17. January.
With scary masks, fire, singing and dancing.

If two primitive symbols exist in Mallorcan culture, these two symbols 
are fire and the devil. Their significance has been nourished by the 
Christian and agricultural roots of the island society of yesterday and of 
today; both elements come together during the most important holidays. 
Saint Anthony and Saint Sebastian are two of the most representative
 festivals of this union.



On Palma there were already happenings for kids.
With those huge figures who normally stand inside the town hall.

I tell you, there is always action on the island.


And art in surprising places.
