Hi Sparky

That's a great overview of what's on for the week ahead ..... will there be any available before our trip out in September, and where do I download it from please??
Thanks

John
 
It is too early for info about September but i will post as and when i find any.
 
Tangoman, there is nothing going on in the Pollensa area in September but here are some events elsewhere on the island, courtesy of Majorca Daily Bulletin.

Sunday, 6 September:
Santa Margalida - La Beata Fiestas
Along with Sa Pobla's Sant Antoni, the La Beata fiestas are the north's most significant for attracting island-wide interest and various dignitaries and VIPs. The La Beata procession (always held on the first Sunday of September) is something you should get to witness at least once.

Sunday, 20 September:
Alcudia Half Marathon
This date is yet to be confirmed.

Sunday, 20 September:
Santa Margalida - Almond Fair (Sant Mateu)
One of any number of themed fairs, Santa Margalida's is devoted to the almond, an important crop for the town down the years.

Saturday, 26 September:
Puerto Alcudia - Ironman 140.6 triathlon
The full Ironman. This will be the second staging of the only full Ironman triathlon to be held on Majorca.

Sunday, 27 September:
Binissalem - Vermar wine harvest fair and fiestas
Always popular with folk in the north - the wine may just have something to do with this - there is much more besides the wine, such as the extremely messy great grape battle which is staged earlier in the fiestas (probably Saturday, 19 September).

Tuesday, 29 September:
Campanet - Sant Miquel Fiestas
In honour of Campanet's patron saint, the fiestas are relatively subdued, the main fiestas' emphasis having been pushed to July when the weather can be guaranteed.
