One of the main companies participating in the Feixina Christmas Market is Barca Samba SL, owned by German national Bernhard Gewessler. This company specializes in nautical charters, organizing excursions and all kinds of private events, from parties to weddings and even funerals. However, according to the municipal registry, its activity at the Christmas market has little connection to the maritime sector. The stalls it operates under this brand offer wine and hot chocolate, baskets of Mallorcan products, and a wide variety of Christmas items and services that have nothing to do with the sea.

He Christmas Market of La Fajina It's already up and running: with more than 60 uniform stalls, an ice rink, and a distinctly German atmosphere, it aims to evoke the grand European markets. But for many residents, this project represents the imposition of a commercial model that obscures their own identity and encroaches on community spaces. The market presents a carefully curated image—wooden stalls, warm lighting, and a Nordic ambiance. Some appreciate the effort: "It's like in Vienna and Strasbourg; it's what Palma deserves," says a resident with a pronounced German accent. But others criticize the installation: "It lacks personality."

The Santa Catalina and El Jonquet Civic District residents' association has denounced the decision to install a Christmas market in Palma's Feixina Park, claiming it was made "behind the backs of residents, artisans, and market vendors." Christmas Market in Palma It will be open from November 21st to January 6th, for about ten hours a day on weekdays and up to twelve hours on weekends and holidays, according to details provided.
