Where: Beaches in San Antonio, San Antonio, Ibiza

Within the celebrations of the Patron Saint of San Antonio, arrives the epic and traditional battle between Carthaginians and Romans on S'Arenal beach, the main beach of San Antonio.

The fun starts with the children’s water fight and foam party at 17:00, followed by the great conflict. Of course, it's not a real battle, but rather a tomato war.

At 19:30, the 'armies' gather. The Carthaginians wear red tunics, the Romans, white ones.

At 19:45, they attempt to make a peace treaty.

Upon failure, the tomato battle starts at 20:00. A scene not to be missed!

Afterwards, there will be a BBQ for winners and losers alike, followed by free live concerts with local bands.

From 21:30: concert by Esta Me La Sé, with pop-rock covers from the 2000s, lots of rhythm, humour and festive spirit. The party continues with DJ Vicente Garcia and DJ Yor-D.
