The typical festivals

Menorca's summer is amazing, because of his marvellous festivals. Every week, there's a festival in each town, starting

in Ciutadella the 24th of June and finishing in Calan Porter

two weeks before the Mahon's festival in the 9th of

September, approximately in the 22nd or the 23rd of September.

All the festivals have a character in common: the typical menorquin horse (with black skin and very strong).The riders, dressed in a black suit and a white shirt, go on their horses through the town streets, until then summing all the mass of riders is celebrated traditional commotion. Participate in commotions, typical dances of horses with a musica band (our favourite band for festivals is the Migjorn's one, it is amazing), is a memorable experience.

Essential to experience the feeling of Menorca, is to savor the famous ointment composed with Xoriguer Gin and lemonade. Xoriguer Gin retains its old flavor, made with alcohol as wine and grain, and then not follow the industrial process of condensation.
