Pota Lait repeats in this year's Santmiquelada

Sant Miquel de Balansat is one of the towns on Eivissa that keeps its traditions best. The patron saint fiestas for Sant Miquel, as for the Passos for Maundy Thursday and the traditional dances held every Thursday, are a good example of this.

In the "Santmiquelada", the popular name for the fiesta on September 29, the most outstanding events are the procession and the folk dancing after the mass at mid day; and also the reading of the proclamation, this year by Antoni Marí Marí, the mayor of Sant Joan, in the evening, before the dance.

As usual, the fiesta programme includes a wide range of activities for all ages, that will last until Sunday, October 12. After the success of the first edition, the Computer Campus will be repeated, and will be held on Saturday 26 in the municipal premises, organised by Sys Informática. Another repetition for this year is the performance by the Ibizan rock group Pota Lait, who thanks to the grand success they had last year, will return to play on Friday evening September 26, together with the Can Raia Rocky Band.

Amongst the novelties, worth mentioning is the performance by the Madrid band La Frontera, that will take place on Saturday 27, and also the "First Gathering of Veteran Cars and Motorbikes" to be held on Sunday 28 as from 10 a.m., coinciding with the exhibition by the Associació d'Apicultors d'Eivissa i Formentera.
