New Year what's on in Majorca: 26 December-1 January

The bells will be ringing out across the island at midnight on New Year's Eve, and there will be parties going on into the small hours (listed here is a selection). It is also the Festival of the Standard in Palma to mark the day - 31 December, 1229 - when King Jaume I entered the city and brought an end to Muslim dominance of the island. This is also celebrated elsewhere, notably Inca and Sineu earlier in the week. Family shows at the auditoriums in Palma and Manacor plus four days of family entertainment at Galatzo in Santa Ponsa (Tuesday to Friday).
