Ibiza Fiesta: San Bartolome 2011

San Antonio has a second bite of the cherry with its second big festival of the year

San Antonio has a second bite of the cherry with its second big festival of the year, this time to celebrate San Bartolome's day, 24th August. The day starts with a massive 'mascleta' when thousands of super loud bangers are lit in the town' Plaza Espana at 08.00 sharp, so don't say we didn't warn you!

All around the date there will be concerts and celebrations and heaps of stuff going on – swimming, cycling, petanca, competitions, activities for kids, sailing , markets, food, drink and much more.
