2026-07-28 | Ajuntament de Valldemossa, Jardins Rei Joan Carles I 07170 Valldemossa, Mallorca, Palma De Mallorca, Islas Baleares, 07170, Spain
Every 28 July the mountain village of Valldemossa, one of the most beautiful spots in Mallorca transforms into a celebration of Santa Catalina Tomas, the island’s own beloved saint known affectionately as La Beata. She is deeply woven into Mallorcan identity and culture.
The evening fills with solemn processions through the village’s stone streets, participants in traditional costume carrying the image of the saint, and decorated floats that are genuinely spectacular. One of those evenings that feels quietly magical, the mountains above, lantern light below, the whole village out together.

La Patrona — Moors and Christians Battle, Pollenca
2026-08-02, 2027-08-01, 2028-08-06, 2029-08-05, 2030-08-04 | Ayuntamiento de Pollenca, Carrer del Calvari, 2, 07460 Pollença, Illes Balears, Pollenca, Islas Baleares, 07460, Spain
One of the most extraordinary free events in the Mediterranean and it happens right here in Mallorca. Every 2 August, the entire town of Pollenca spills into the streets to re-enact the night of 30 May 1550, when local hero Joan Mas woke the town and led 300 brave Pollensins to defeat 1,500 Ottoman pirates led by the feared corsair Dragut.
The week builds with concerts, exhibitions, markets, cannon fire, fireworks and late-night parties. On the day itself, the whole town dresses up, Christians in white pyjamas, Moors in colourful pirate attire and the mock battle tears through the narrow streets. Wooden swords, face paint, fireworks and several thousand people pressed into cobblestone streets cheering. It ends with the victorious Christians singing the town anthem at the parish church. Epic in every sense.
