The best plans for the weekend in Ibiza and Formentera

The Town Hall of Santa Eulària has programmed the events of the World Children’s Day for this Saturday with workshops, games and shows for the whole family, and also in Vila, which opens the same day as the now renovated casa payesa de Can Casals with music and traditional and environmental activities for all audiences. As well as in Santa Gertrudis, which continues with the programme of its patron saint’s festivities. But there are many other indoor events that won’t suffer the inclement weather. Some interesting events such as ‘Tea time’ circus on Sunday at the Palacio de Congresos, the Temporada Pedro Cañestro theatre with ‘Carnaval’ on Friday at the Teatro Espanya and ‘Roca & Roll’, on Saturday in Sant Antoni and Sunday in Sant Josep, or dance with a new session of ‘Lorca poeta flamenco’, by the great dancer and singer Leilah Broukhim on Saturday in es Caló de s’Oli in Cala de Bou. And this weekend, Santa Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians, will also be celebrated with concerts scheduled in different municipalities. There are also two literary events, an excursion to learn the details of Rafael Alberti’s stay in Eivissa at the beginning of the Civil War, with spaces filling up  quickly, and the presentation of the new novel by Chris Martos , ‘Multiverse’, continuation of ‘The Code’, on Saturday in Ebusus.
