San Isidro, San Jose – The Story of a Story

Ibiza may be the coolest island on earth but its rich country traditions are still celebrated with gusto by the local people.

Sun 20 May, 2018, from 11:00
Where: San José, Ibiza

This Sunday observed the Fiesta of San Isidro, the patron saint of peasants and also Madrid. Known as Sant Isidre in Catalan, his day brings together all facets of country living in one place –San Jose village centre.

So, if you're on the island this Sunday and fancy seeing a bit of local agricultural machinery, livestock and craft work, get up to San Jose when at 11.00 the proceedings start. On show were examples of local breeds of animals, sheep, goats, hens, pigs, ducks, and of course the local hunting dogs, Podencos. Produce from the island was also on sale – ecologically grown vegetables, honey, olive oil, wine, cacti, succulents and plants.
