King James Festival in Santa Ponsa
Celebrations rule the roost for the first two weeks of September in Santa Ponsa. This big knees up is to remember the day King James I arrived in Santa Ponsa in 1229, when he defeated the Moors and became ruler of the island. Arguably the best part of this festival is at the end of the fortnight. A colourful parade sweeps through the streets, and in the evening, there’s a concert that attracts top international musicians. It ends with a bang, too, as a fireworks display lights up the sky.
