Spain Holiday - Assumption Day - August 15, 2019

[markpghpa]

Hello everyone,

 

We are on the RCCL Jewel of the Seas that is stopping in Palma de Mallorca on August 15, 2019 which happens to be national holiday in Spain. According to a website; " When is Assumption of Mary? The holiday is celebrated annually on August 15th....The Feast of the Assumption of Mary is a very important day in the Catholic religion. It is the principal feast of the Blessed Virgin, the mother of Jesus Christ." 

 

Does anyone know what will be open on this holiday in Palma de Mallorca? Also, will be there other events in Palma on this day to celebrate this holiday. We were planning on visiting Palma and also Soller on the 15th.

 

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Check artsmallorca.com.

There will be processions in many towns, some bigger than others. Tourist sites will be open.

Google the name of the town and "tourism" to get the local schedule of festivities.
