Palma sparkles: A magical start to the Christmas season as the lights go on!

Christmas officially arrived in Palma this past Saturday with the traditional lighting of the holiday lights, an event that drew thousands of people to the centre of the Balearic capital to welcome the festive season. From the early afternoon, the most iconic streets in the city centre, such as the Born, Jaume III, and Plaza de Cort, were filled with locals and visitors eager to witness the spectacle.
