Mallorca’s weekend is packed with events! The Garden Hotels-Luxcom Mallorca Cyclist Challenge runs from January 31 to February 2. Music lovers can enjoy concerts by Guille Wheel, Jaime Anglada, and Javier Hombría in Palma, but the Oasis tribute band Live Forever in Petra has been cancelled. Classical and jazz performances take place across the island. Family-friendly shows include Babidibú in Palma.
