The best plans for the weekend in Ibiza and Formentera

Sunday is Sant Jordi, Book Day and different administrations and publishers have scheduled events, in addition to the presentations of books by local authors. There are four book fairs scheduled, on Friday in Sant Antoni, Saturday in Santa Eulària and Sunday in Eivissa and Formentera, which are usually the ones that gather more public.

In addition, Sunday is the patron saint of Sant Jordi and there is a full calendar of activities during the weekend, with a lot of music, which closes on Sunday with concerts by Dr Trapero and Muchachito Bombo Infierno and more music with dj Lost Angeles.

Gastronomy has three appointments between Saturday and Sunday. The hardest decision will be to decide on Saturday between the Fira del Peix i del Marics held in Sant Antoni and the Fira del Polp of Sant Miquel, both with performances, fun and good food guaranteed.

In addition, Es Nàutic de Sant Antoni has set up on Sunday a creative arròs a banda contestas part of the events celebrating its 50th anniversary. And also brings this Thursday the well-known comedian Joaquin Reyes for a monologue in his tent.

As for the cinema. The ibicin festivale continues with its extensive program, which closes on Saturday with the closing gala at the Cine Regio in Sant Antoni.
