Sant Antoni 2017

[sws97sdg]

Starting to think about Sant Antoni already, flights booked and now we have booked a penthouse studio on the front next to Diana, so really looking forward to getting over for this fantastic fiesta. This year it is Monday and Tuesday, so great for a week Saturday to Saturday, hopefully more flights this year so no excuses for not getting over if you haven't experienced it yet. 98 days until we fly back

Fiesta Tuesday night? so best to fly back Weds, or is Monday the party night? Lunch outside if we're lucky with the weather?

Monday is the main day for partying in the Port, on Tuesday as soon as the tree has been climbed everyone disappears, many head into the old Town as they do the tree in the evening.

Yes January, and it's nice because all the Xmas decorations are still up in Palma and the port, and hopefully the weather will be bright enough to eat outside during the day. Cafe 1919, Marina cafe, el Casanet and the Chinese run one on the front have tables outside.

Eating breakfast cooked on bbqs on Formentor beach, on the morning of the tree climb is well worth the early get up. Buses provided and a lovely atmosphere.

 

[sws97sdg]

We will try and do that this time, get a bus there

This year ( 2016 ) I went by car and was surprised how easy it was to park, especially as it was a fine day.

Maybe a car sharing scheme could be organised for those who don´t have access to four wheels.

The Hustlers will be playing at Nostalgia on the 16th .

Does anyone know of any restaurants for the Monday night offering special menus for the festival ? We went to el casinet last year and they had a BBQ theme but I think it's different this year , any ideas please

Do you know when the mounds of soil will start appearing, we are catching the bus down on the Saturday morning and I am wondering if the bus route will be changed at all? TIA

Nothing has been posted yet but the bus stops could be moved up to the by-pass as they were last year. Here :- 12491952_800860350024009_4282045286531460866_o by lyn.sparkes, on Flickr

Are there "public" grills spread around town or are they all privately run ?
