What's on in Majorca: 14-20 August
One of the craziest of all fiesta occasions is the Mucada in Sineu on Monday. The famous duck swim of Can Picafort and one of the most spectacular of fireworks displays on Tuesday. Massive evening/night of events in Porreres on Wednesday, including demons' fire-runs (also in Alaro). Fiestas elsewhere in the likes of Cala San Vicente and S'Illot. An absolutely packed week.
