What to do in Palma when it rains

Autumn has arrived! The temperature is dropping, the sun is still hot but no longer burning, fluffy clouds are forming in the sky, and the sea is cooling. We have left behind a scorching hot summer to welcome autumn in Mallorca. A new season, one of moderation, in the knowledge that there are far fewer tourists and that the weather provides much-needed relief.

Rain is a frequent visitor to the Balearics in the months leading up to winter. Although the intermediate seasons have the most rainfall, the Mediterranean climate of the islands also means that storms dissipate quickly, and rains do not last long.

So, if you are visiting or live in Palma, you should know that there are plenty of fun things to do in the Balearic capital when it rains. Balneario Illetas has put together a list of activities to do in the city in bad weather.

Fun things to do when it drizzles

We should not let the rain dampen or cloud our spirits! On the contrary, rainfall helps the natural environment in greening up and reaching its full splendour. Rain in the Mediterranean is always welcome, especially after the prolonged droughts and heat waves of summer. The vast, parched fields welcome the blessing of water.

Although the island is best known for its idyllic beaches where tourists flock in summer to bathe in the Mediterranean Sea and bask in the sun, when the high season comes to an end, Mallorca takes on a new charm.

Stroll through the old town
Palma's old town is one of the best preserved and most beautiful in Europe. On rainy days, a walk under a good umbrella will give you the historic district to yourself and an unforgettable experience.

Visit the museums
Palma's museums include the Casal Solléric, Es Baluard, and the Joan and Pilar Miró Foundation. Visiting them is unquestionably a worthwhile experience! Rainy days are also ideal for visiting the city's numerous art galleries.

Go shopping
If you are visiting Palma and the day is cloudy and stormy, it's time to go shopping! In the city centre, you will find numerous boutiques and all the major Spanish fashion brands. In addition, the famous Porto Pi and Fan Mallorca shopping malls are only a 5-minute taxi ride away.

Enjoy a good glass of wine in a unique setting.
When the weather is nasty, going somewhere nice to have a drink with good company, enjoy the vistas, and have some privacy is a good idea. At Balneario Illetas, we have a lovely covered terrace where you can enjoy yourself even if it rains.

Dining and drinks all year round at Balneario Illetas

Balneario Illetas is open all year, even on days with bad weather! We invite you to our indoor restaurant for an unforgettable evening by the sea. Even if it rains or thunders, being in Mallorca is always a great pleasure!
