Revelta i Beneides de Sant Antoni Abat
January
A particularly entertaining way of shaking off the post-Christmas blues, San Antoni celebrations see locals dust off their glad rags for two days of bonfires, street parties and fireworks.
Menorca Jazz Festival
April-May
A six-week celebration of all things jazz and blues, Menorca’s headline musical event sees concerts staged in venues across the island, although the biggest gigs happen in Mahon and Ciutadella.
Passejada dies Bou i Carro Triunfal
July
It’s not quite as spectacular as Pamplona but Valldemossa’s annual festivities do include a convoy of snorting bulls – some angrier than others. After you’ve enjoyed the bovine parade, head to one of the many street parties for a slab of excellent local steak.
Festa des Vermar
September
Binissalem is the scene of Bacchanalian festivities celebrating the local wine industry and not surprisingly, there are plenty of opportunities to try a glass or two.
Dilous Bo
November
Celebrating all things gastronomic, the traditional festival of Dilous Bo is a feast for the senses in more ways than one. The little town of Inca is the hub for celebrations and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to taste local favourites such as ensaimada pastries and fennel-fragranced cuixot sausages.
