During Easter, Santanyí and other towns in Mallorca host traditional processions and events.

Local Traditions
Easter in Mallorca is a time of traditions, and Santanyí’s unique customs make the experience even more special. Many locals bake traditional pastries like “robiols” and “crespells” to celebrate the season. These treats are made with rich ingredients and are perfect to enjoy with a morning coffee.
Rubiols
Rubiols are a traditional Mallorcan sweet typically associated with Easter. They consist of a thin, sweet dough filled with various ingredients, such as ricotta (brossat), jam, or pumpkin preserve (cabello de ángel), and then bakes until golden, Shaped like a half-moon, they offer a delightful mix of crunchy pastry and sweet filling.
Crespells
Crespells are another traditional Mallorcan sweet, also popular during festive times like Easter. These treats use a similar dough to rubiols but are not filled. Instead, they are cut into fun shapes, such as stars or flowers, and baked. Their texture is slightly crunchy, with a sweet flavor that makes them perfect for enjoying with coffee or as a snack.
