Join In The Festivities in Majorca with Jet2holidays.com

If you’re seeking a little early autumn fun, why not visit the beautiful Balearic island of Majorca on holiday and join in the Fiesta of Santa Catalina Tomas, which is celebrated annually on the third Saturday in October with a spectacular street party.

The festival takes place to honour Santa Catalina Tomas who is not a Saint from the Bible, but an everyday person who was later blessed by Pope Pius VI in 1792 due to her prominent moral teachings of the children of the island.

Festivities include lavish street parades, live music and dancing, with processions winding their way through the streets and towns all day on the 17th October.

The island, which is the largest of the Balearics, not only offers this charismatic celebration but also sandy beaches, beautiful scenery and an array of cultural and historical sites to visit whilst on holiday including Palma’s Gothic Cathedral, the Palau de l’Almudaina – a royal palace built shortly after the Arab conquest and Museu d’Art Espanyol Contemporani, a museum housing the work of famous twentieth century Spanish artists including Picasso, Dalí, Miró, Juan Gris and Antoni Tápies.
