The fiestas of Sant Joan in Ciutadella are the beginning of the popular fiestas in Menorca. Horses and riders pass through the streets, jump to the rhythm of the music and fill the villages with an amazing atmosphere and wonderful traditional scenes.

Do you know the village fiestas of the island? On the 23rd and 24th of June, Cuitadella celebrates the most spectacular of them all. The presentation of the Medieval Games is one of the most popular events, attracting great crowds of visitors.

During the months of July, August and September, the tradition of the fiestas brings hubbub, hurly burly and merriment to the island. At the centre of the it all is the “jaleo”, with the horses as the star performers, rearing up on their hind legs. The riders skillfully steer their mounts through the crowds and perform to the music played by the band.

From Menorca Rentals, we recommend that you visit Menorca and experience the festive traditions , their gastromony and their customs. Live the emotion and the high spirits of all who participate in the fiesta, try the dishes that are prepared for these days, the excellent cooked sausages of Menorca, and …of course, taste the typical fiesta drink, the Menorcan gin with lemonade called “pomada”.
