What the Àngels Xancaires Are
The Stilt-Walking Angels are part of Palma City Council’s Christmas cultural programme. They are itinerant performers who move through the historic centre on stilts, dressed in white or gold costumes inspired by angelic figures.
Their aim is to bring life to the streets, accompany visitors and shoppers in the city centre, and add a magical touch to the run-up to Christmas.
This is a free activity, open to the public and without prior registration.
Practical tips for watching the Stilt-Walking Angels
- Arrive a few minutes early to see them from the beginning of the route.
- They are perfect for photography, especially on Born, Cort, Plaça Major, or La Rambla.
- If visiting with children, choose wide areas so they can watch comfortably.
- It’s a great activity to combine with Christmas shopping in the city centre.
- Dates close to 20 and 23 December usually attract more visitors.
