About this event
The dimonis come out of Sant Joan's town hall for the first time this fiesta, led by xeremiers on Mallorcan bagpipes. Costumed demons running the streets to pipe music is the island's most distinctive living tradition, and this small Pla village does it without any audience of tour operators. Free, and follows the bell-ringing and pregó earlier the same evening.
Why we picked it
Mallorcan demons and bagpipes in a small inland village, entirely free and entirely local.
