Once again, there are no excuses to stay at home this weekend. The list of things to do in Ibiza and Formentera is long — and, as always, music takes centre stage, with around twenty live performances scheduled. Just look at Thursday’s line-up: The 3 Wise Monkeys, Funk Ku, The Rosemary Family and Los del Varadero. Those who prefer learning to dancing shouldn’t miss Eusebia Rayó’s talk at 7 p.m. at the Archaeological Museum, dedicated to the queens of Mallorca — great women who remain largely unknown.
On Friday, historian Antoni Ferrer Abárzuza will give a lecture about Joan Marí Cardona at the Sant Rafel social club (7 p.m.). The same day marks the start of events commemorating 25N, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, including a micro-theatre play about migrant women working as caregivers. There’s also cinema on offer: La germana lletja (8:30 p.m., Cine Regio) and Love, Liza (6:30 p.m., UIB).
Friday also sees the opening of the 23rd Second-Hand Vehicle Fair, where visitors can explore options throughout the weekend — with special discounts available for those who lost their vehicles during the recent storm. In addition, the Ibiza Card Show for collectors also kicks off.
On Saturday, the festivities of Santa Gertrudis and Sant Carles continue. In Santa Gertrudis, the programme includes a rural day at Juntos Farm and one of the weekend’s most anticipated events: La Verbenita party. Meanwhile, in Sant Carles, olives and olive trees take centre stage at Ca n’Andreu des Trull, where visitors can learn everything from how to salt olives to how to enjoy them.
The 25N programme also continues, with a session on the abolition of prostitution at the Casal d’Igualtat de Vila and the play Todas las mujeres que habito at Caló de s’Oli. Finally, at 11:30 a.m., a rally will take place in Sa Graduada square to mark the 50th anniversary of Franco’s death.
