Every year, without fail, we hear the same thing: “Wait, which village is celebrating what now?” 😅 You’ve barely caught your breath from the Santa Eularia 'Marzo' madness and – boom – suddenly it’s Fiestas de Mayo time in Santa Eulalia! But not just any fiesta… this one is THE big one. Like, save-the-date, don’t-miss-it, throw-on-your-best-flower-crown kind of big.
Kicking off on April 23rd and stretching all the way to May 27th, this is Santa Eulalia’s most joyful and jam-packed month, with a gorgeous mix of tradition, community spirit, flowers, music, horses, vintage rides, and even theatre!

So yes, May in Santa Eulalia is a whole vibe. One moment you're catching petals in a folk parade, the next you're clapping along at a puppet show or watching horses dance down the street. This isn’t just another village fiesta – this is a full-on celebration of life, spring, and community spirit… the Ibizan way. 💃🌼🎺
