“El Casta”
Agustín “El Casta” is a staple of Christmas in Palma de Mallorca due to his performances filled with humour and comedy.
This comedian has a unique and local style as he addresses current topics affecting the island’s residents in all his performances. He is also known for creating fictional characters during the event, a detail that helps him dynamically connect with the audience.
From 25th December to 1st January (except for the 31st), you can enjoy this show at the Auditorium de Palma. Ticket prices vary depending on the seating location.

Banner Festival
On the 30th and 31st of December, the Banner Festival is celebrated in the city. It historically commemorates the entry of Christians into the Arab capital of the Kingdom of Mallorca.
The afternoon of the 30th is more institutional with the proclamation marking the start of this festival. This is followed by a song to the Virgin of Health at San Miguel Church. To conclude, there is an offering in the centre, near our lockers in Palma de Mallorca – Plaza de España.
On the 31st, the events revolve around the banner itself. It is placed in the middle of the square, and the facade of Palma City Hall is adorned with red decorations featuring the city’s coat of arms. Finally, a procession heads to the Cathedral with all the city’s administrative, political, and religious authorities. The mass performed at the Cathedral is dynamic, as regional dances are showcased.
