In the years that Easter falls in the month of April, this is usually the main festivity in Mallorca. However, it is not the only celebration that takes place on the island in this spring month. In fact, there are many things to see and do in Mallorca in April.

In this article I will tell you about them, but I warn you that there are from gastronomic events to fairs in the purest Andalusian style. Read on and make your trip to Mallorca in April an unforgettable memory.

Another of the fairs celebrated in April in Mallorca is the Orange Fair. This festivity is typical of the municipality of Sóller, which is located in the Tramuntana mountain range. It is one of the most beautiful villages of the island and I recommend you to book an excursion to Sóller to know it in depth.

But if you go in April you will also be lucky to know the Orange Fair, a gastronomic experience where most of the restaurants of the municipality prepare special menus with orange as the star ingredient.

In addition, there are also competitions such as the Guinness World Record for the largest amount of orange juice squeezed by hand. You can also attend workshops and discover real relics at the craft market.

We start our list in the municipality of Muro, where the famous Fira de Sant Francesc is held. This event dates back to the 18th century and is one of the best things to do with children in Mallorca. It is an agricultural fair in which all the neighbors of the area participate.

The fair is held around the Convent of the Minims and the streets near this building are filled with stalls of all kinds, as well as concerts and all kinds of cultural events.

Muro is one of the oldest municipalities of Mallorca (it has its origins in the Copper Age) and the whole fair revolves around agriculture, livestock and crafts, trades for which Muro has been characterized in the past.

Are you a foodie? You're in luck! You will be delighted to know that one of the things to do in April in Mallorca is the Muestra de Cocina de Calviá. This gastronomic event is held both in April and November in the municipality of Calviá.

During the event, the restaurants attached to the program make available to the passers-by complete menus at popular prices. In this way, you will have the opportunity to taste delicious delicacies without leaving your pocket in it.

Besides, in case you travel to Majorca with children, you will be pleased to know that these restaurants also offer children's menus.

Andratx is one of the oldest villages of Mallorca. It is located in its southwestern part and belongs to the valleys of the Tramontana mountain range. The municipality is comprised of 6 localities, all of them rich in a dazzling nature.

Among its great tourist attractions are the Contemporary Art Center of Sa Coma-Andratx and, of course, the Andratx Fair, which dates back to 1984.

This event is held every year on the first weekend of April, next to the Passeig de Son Mas. In it, you can stroll through the various stalls of handicrafts and food products typical of the island. In addition, there are also children's workshops, animal shows, musical performances and the Tapas Route.

The municipality of Sa Pobla, also known as La Puebla, is located in the Raiguer region. It is known for its agricultural character, predominantly the cultivation of potatoes. In fact, Sa Pobla is home to the most fertile land on the whole island.

Despite being a small town, Sa Pobla offers a great cultural offer, hiding treasures such as the Toy Museum or the Museum of Contemporary Art. In addition, its fun events stand out, perfect for the whole family. Among all of them, today I want to talk about the Opportunity Fair.

The Sa Pobla Opportunity Fair is one of the best things to do in April in Mallorca. During this event, many stores of the municipality take to the streets in the form of stalls to offer their products at a much more affordable price.

Do you feel like living the great April Fair of Seville but in Mallorca? As a sort of homage to the Andalusian capital, the municipality of Pollença celebrates its own April Fair every year.

This part of the island is known for its wonderful coves and beaches with crystal clear waters and rocky areas surrounded by nature, the coast of Pollença becomes a paradise that looks like something out of a painting. And I can't leave behind the historic center of this wonderful place, which is steeped in history.

It is in this dreamy enclave that the Feria de Abril, a three-day celebration, takes place. The event begins with a parade through the different streets of the region and ends at the fairgrounds, where there are musical performances, horse parades and, as a closing, a rociera mass.

The Festival of Sant Jordi is celebrated every year on April 23rd, commemorating the death of Saint George, patron saint of Catalonia. Although this festival is better known in that autonomous community, the truth is that it also has a great importance within the popular culture of Mallorca.

There is a tradition that men give roses to their sweethearts, who in turn give them a book in return. Thus, it is a celebration in which love and culture go hand in hand. During this day, the different town halls of the island organize activities, children's workshops and book signings.

However, this festival is even more relevant in Colonia de Sant Jordi, of which, as you can surely guess, this gentleman is the patron saint. Thus, in this area of Mallorca, the celebration extends throughout a week in which concerts, art contests and exhibitions are held.

Santanyí is a village located in the southeast of the island. It is characterized by its medieval buildings of golden sandstone, stone that can only be extracted from the quarries of the municipality.

Beyond its great cultural and scenic attraction, Santanyí is known for its gastronomic week. During these days, the local restaurants offer different menus that highlight their specialties.

Since 2017, in the municipality of Artá, the Prehistory and Antiquity Fair of Artalaiòtica has been organized. In this event, the Greek, Talayotic, Roman and Punic cultures come together, recalling the historical past of the town.

In this way, the town council organizes various activities for all audiences, in which the knowledge of the memory of Artá is promoted, preventing it from falling into oblivion. Among these activities, you can find guided tours, plays, workshops and conferences.

In addition, you will also have the opportunity to browse the various craft stalls, as well as food stalls. The latter sell delicacies typical of the different cultures that left their mark in Artá, and I encourage you to try the sheep toast!

I end this great proposal of activities to do in April in Mallorca with a great plan for beer lovers that you will surely love. Beer Palma is an event that takes place in the city of Palma and has been held since 2014.

With more and more public as the years go by, the celebration was born with the intention of making Palma a world reference for beer. Thus, attendees can taste the best beers from around the world, from the best known to other unknown beers.

Undoubtedly, if you plan to go to Palma de Mallorca in April and you like beer, it is essential that you attend this event. You will surely want to repeat every year!

As if that were not enough, with the great offer of activities in Mallorca in April, the temperature on the island is wonderful during this month. The average is usually around 15º C, so the weather is perfect for boat trips, sightseeing and strolling around without dying of heat.

Besides, with 10 hours of daylight a day, you will have time to do everything you have planned before arriving to that charming spot where you plan to watch the sunset. For this, I recommend you to book a boat trip in Mallorca at sunset. You will love it!
