The fortifications of the city of Eivissa
were
declared in 1999
World heritage site by
Unesco.
This declaration also included the
cemetery
of Puig des Molins, the
Phoenician
settlement of sa Caleta and the
prairies
of Posidonia of the Ses Salines Natural Park. To celebrate this international
recognition, the Eivissa Town Council organises in the second weekend of
May a wide programme dedicated to culture and entertainment: a grand medieval
fiesta was held in Dalt Vila with street theatre, fakirs, markets, dancing,
music....
Next Friday, May 9, a new edition of the fiesta begins, the fourth,
and over the weekend thousands of people will visit Dalt Vila to enjoy
the vast choice of activities organised by the Town Council.
Worth stressing are the Renaissance concert by
Jordi
Savall on Friday at 9 p.m., and the concert by
Judith
Cohen, prestigious Canadian ethnic musicologist who will offer a recital
of Sephardi and Jewish music on Sunday night.
The
full
programme of activities is available in PDF format.
