3. Summer boasts stone fruits and endless tomatoes, but the fall brings plenty of delicious things to the market and onto the menu. Think mushrooms, olives, honey and, of course, wine, when local wine makers harvest their grapes and prepare their next vintage. Local fiestas take place nearly every weekend, celebrating the fall season and Mallorca’s diverse agriculture. Three highlights include the Fira del Vi (Wine Fair) in Binissalem, at the end of September, Dijous-Bo in Inca, and the Fira de la Mel (Honey Fair) in Llubi, later in November. 

4. When it comes to culture, Nit del Art Palma, happening on September 20th, sets the tone for the art season, with new exhibitions opening at cultural centres, museums and galleries across Palma and other parts of the island as well. We will be keeping you posted on some of the exhibitions, events and artists to look out for in the coming months. 

5. This fall, Palma is host to three film festivals - each very different. The 16th edition of the Palma Muntanya Film Festival, focused on films about the mountains, hiking, climbing, expeditions, adventure as well as nature and the environment. The Evolution Film Festival,  now in its 14th season, opens on October 21st. The festival has steadily grown over the years, featuring award-winning cinema, from short and feature films to a special Balearic film section and new talents, among others. It also hosts industry panels and workshops leading writers, directors and cinematographers. Also coming up at the end of November is the Festival de Cinema Documental de Mallorca, or Major Docs, a creative documentary film festival that highlights the power of the documentary medium.
