If last weekend you had to scratch the calendar to find things in the confines of the Medieval Fair in this one we have programmed everything that we had to do and what was not done in the previous one. And it is a real madness. There is everything and a lot of everything.
We can start with the festivities, with activities both in Santa Eulària and Puig d’en Valls, which celebrates its big day on Sunday, in addition to the traditional Sant Esidre de Sant Josep Festival. Although perhaps it would be better to talk about festivals, such as the artistic Fantasia Ibiza Festivalwith dozens of proposals in Vila, or the Sant Antoni Spring Festivalwhich culminates with the Rock Nights Festivalwith Joe Crepúsculo at the top of the bill.
If we continue with the music, we can highlight the concerts of Miguel Campello at Las Dalias this Thursday, the kick-off of the Children of The 80’s, with Los Secretos as guests, or the Candlelight on Sunday at the Pereyra, with songs by Coldplay and Imagine Dragons, but there are many more.
There is also a lot of theater, starting with ‘El cornetí o la vida’ on Thursday in Formentera, ‘Corsaris’on Saturday in es Caló de s’Oli and Sunday in Cas Serres, or ‘Pensioners’on Saturday at Can Ventosa.
And gastronomy lovers have two appointments, both on Saturday, at the puig d’en Valls fideuá competitionbut, above all, the Fira de la Patata Eivissenca of Sant Josep.
And Sunday is Museum Day, by the way, with open house and guided tours.
But there’s also cinema, dance, lectures, book presentations, excursions, art exhibitions and all kinds of social activities.
