The best plans for the weekend in Ibiza and Formentera

In addition, this is an eminently musical weekend, with two first-rate events for the enjoyment of music lovers. The XXV International Music Festival of Ibiza, in Sant Carles, an unmissable event, and the International Classical Music Festival, in the Cloister of the Convent of the Dominicans of the Town Hall of Ibiza (Dalt Vila), offer two unique opportunities to enjoy the best music. Two events of international interest in Ibiza.

It is also worth looking at the programs of Sant Bartomeu and Cala Lllonga festivalswith activities for all the public during these days.

And it should be noted that the list of markets in Ibiza is completed these days with the opening of ‘Viu l’Artesania’ in the port of Vila until September 24 and the announced reopening on Sunday of the flea market of Sant Joan.
