Palma Weather in November

November weather in Palma

November feels mild, damp and changeable. Afternoons are cooler than October, and rain falls on several days, so outdoor plans may need to shift. The old town's lanes, Palma Cathedral and the covered Mercat de l'Olivar work well when showers pass. On a dry day, walk up to Bellver Castle for views over the city and bay.

The sea and beach weather are less inviting now. Skip planning a full beach holiday around swimming, and keep a rainy-day option for longer walks. Shorter daylight also means less time for a slow afternoon outdoors.

What's on

All Saints' Day, on November 1, is a public holiday in Spain. Families visit cemeteries, and some shops and services may close or have shorter hours. In Mallorca, traditional sweets called panellets are associated with the season; you may spot them in Palma bakeries.

For couples who prefer quiet city walks to beach days, November's cooler pace can be a good fit.

Crowds and practical tips

Palma is quieter than in the summer and shoulder-season months, when beach trips draw more visitors. November usually brings a calmer feel to the old town, and accommodation can cost less than during busier months, though prices vary. The trade-off is fewer beach-friendly days and some rain.

Use the city's buses or a taxi to reach Bellver Castle if wet paths make the uphill walk unappealing. Afterward, head back to Santa Catalina for dinner; the neighbourhood has plenty of places to eat, and you can duck inside if the weather turns. Check opening times around All Saints' Day, especially for smaller shops and museums.
