Magaluf Excursions: Sant Joan

The summer fiestas are in honour of summers’s onset. And with "Sant Joan Baptista" kicking things off in June, the revelry gets the go-ahead. Out of all the fiestas, and there are many, the most awe-inspiring and popular is the "Festes de Sant Joan." But if you take a shine to the festive spirit then there are countless other fiestas for you to enjoy.

However, if you are a merrymaker in Magaluf, you might already be overflowing with the festive spirit. And given your current location we recommend the fiestas of Pamla, Felanitx etc. The list is endless but these are the most convenient options for those vacationing in Magaluf. The fiestas in Felanitx have a unique offering, which makes it the preferred choice of people. In Felanitx a man parades as Saint John and walks through the streets. Although, all the towns do their best to create a gala experience for this special occasion, they are no match for fiestas at Sant Joan itself. The fest held there is truly wondrous as it includes many enchanting local activities. The festival involves watching the sun as it rises at the crack of dawn. Fun contests, a Mass and delicious dishes follow the observation.

There are other good options for people who are residing in Magaluf. The fiesta in these places actually lasts for seven whole days and offers a plethora of traditional activities. In Palma, “the Parc de la Mar” starts in the evening with an unusual, fiery race and entertainment provided by noted performers. A wonder way to experience the local culture.
