The best plans for the weekend in Ibiza and Formentera

In a weekend full of activities, there are three focal points that will mark the next few days: the Sant Bartomeu festivities in Sant Antoni, with the traditional battle between Carthaginians and Romans, the Eivissa Jazz and the Sant Carles piano competition.

The Carthaginians and Romans begin to settle their differences on Friday, with the children’s water battle and the inauguration of the party camp. But the battle will take place on Saturday, a tomatazo clean between the two armies, before the torrada of brotherhood and the final party with live music in s’Arenal.

The Eivissa Jazz lives from Thursday to Saturday three intense days at the Baluarte de Santa Llúcia. On Thursday with Los Aurora and a new Eivissa Jazz Experience, on Thursday with the groups of Juan Sáiz and José Carra and on Saturday with Giulio Ottanelli Quartet and Vincent Pairani Trio.

In Sant Carles they celebrate a new edition of the International Piano Competitionwhich ends on Sunday with the closing ceremony and awards ceremony.

There are many other interesting appointments, in the jesus and Sant Agustí festivitiesthe flamenco solidarity festival on Saturday at Can Ventosa or on Jambalaya Festival on Sunday in Sant Antoni. Everything is here:
