Here in Mallorca, Christmas begins at the end of November with the switching on of the festive Christmas lights in Palma, and ends on the 6th of January, when the Spanish traditionally receive their presents, which are brought by the Three Wise Men.
During this time, many smaller and larger Christmas markets take place in many places.
Everyone knows the well-known Christmas markets in Palma's centre, Puerto Portals or the Pueblo Español. But have you ever been to one of the smaller markets, away from the big tourist crowds?
