Ibiza: San Bartolome 2008

a grand tomato battle

Ibiza's second city, San Antonio, celebrates its second Saint's day this month. San Bartolome, second only to San Antonio in the rankings (possibly decided on an alphabetical basis) actually has his day on August 24th, but you know the story, we celebrate for weeks before here in Spain.

The festivities are already underway and have the usual mix of sports events and competitions, arts and crafts, music, dancing and shows. Here are some of the activities coming up soon.
