Christmas in Vila

Vila is the scene, since last December 5, for different festive activities within the programme Christmas 2003/2004 organised by the Town Hall. As well as the illumination and traditional Christmas markets, a whole series of proposals will animate the city until January 6.

As for sport, outstanding are Cursa Ciclista Popular de L'Indiot, celebrated on December 14, and the Pujada Atlètica a la Catedral, that takes place on December 31 at 4.30 p.m., leaving from Paseo Joan Carles I (Casa del Mar).

As for traditional events, special attention is deserved to the Xacota Pagesa organised by the Colla de Sa Bodega that is held on December 27 in the Paseo Vara de Rey, at 6 p.m. with popular music and tasting of Christmas sauce, sobrasada, butifarra and bunyols for everyone.

The free New Year's Eve fiesta this year is changing its venue and will be held in a marquee installed in the car park between the streets Vicente Serra, Canàries and Sant Cristòfol. There will be performances by Paco Atrium, Orquestra Tanit, Ricardito and Sabor Tropical.

The most important event for the Ibizan children, the arrival of the Three Kings, will take place in the Port of Eivissa on January 5 at 6.30 p.m.

The full programme of activities can be found in PDF format.
