  • I've an enforced 4 days off work from 21 - 24 December

    Where's good for a few winter slacker miles? Majorca?

  • Weather lowdown

    December is a very cool time to visit Majorca, Balearic Islands, when the average temperature is just 11°C, created by highs of around 16°C and lows of 6°C. The nights can get very chilly, so make sure you pack plenty of warm clothes if you plan on going out on an evening. With only two hours of sunshine each day, around 12 rainy days throughout the month and an average sea temperature of 7°C, it’s unlikely you’ll spend days lounging at the beach.

  • It is particularly warm here at the moment - a week of sun and 17/18 degrees was forecast but it hit 23 today, I spent the afternoon on the beach and had a swim in the sea, which was fine apart from being stung by a jellyfish.

    But if you're going for riding you're not going to care about sea temperature anyway and 16 degrees is fine. If you get half board like me you don't even need to leave the hotel at night (everything is shut anyway) and the riding in the Tramuntana is amazing.

    I'd recommend checking the forecast before you book - I only booked three days before I flew out. It was still super cheap.
