Sant Antoni Festivities

JANUARY

Sant Antoni, the most deeply rooted festival in Sa Pobla

The festival of Sant Antoni, documented since 1365, is the most emblematic in the town. It has two sides: the religious, with events such as Compline, and the secular, with bonfires, zambombas (a type of musical instrument) and glosas (traditional songs). The night of 16 January, the eve of Sant Antoni, reaches its climax when fire takes centre stage. The dimonis, essential figures in the celebration, dance alongside the caparrots in the Plaça Major before the pyromusical display. Meanwhile, people eat, sing and celebrate with wine and espinagadas. The saint is also the patron saint of animals and farmers, and on this day they are blessed and their importance recognised.
