Festes de Sant Cristofol in Es Migjorn Gran

Menorca
28-30 Jul 2018
To start this festival, bells are rung on the evening of the Saturday, and the Band of Migjorn Gran parades through the town with gigantes y cabezudos. Many Spanish festivals include these costumed giants with huge papier-mache heads. The figures are usually several metres tall, with a frame made of wood or aluminium, which the individual controlling the giant will wear like a harness. Following this there are horse parades in the evening, and then Sunday hosts even more parades and live music.
