Menorca and Ibiza Summer Yacht Charters
28th June 2010
Holidaymakers who enjoy immersing themselves in local culture while they’re away are in for a treat if they book to join us on board Nakita this month.
It’s hard to imagine that there’s a better equipped Beneteau 57 sailing the Balearics this summer, and it’s the most exciting and relaxing method of exploring this exciting group of islands, opening up access to tranquil, unspoilt expanses of coastline that would be otherwise inaccessible or too far off the beaten track to be found by road.
Once moored in one of the many marinas and ports around the islands, you’re free to wonder into the many enticing towns and villages this part of the world has to offer, and June is a very good month to witness quintessential life in Spanish territory.
Menorca celebrates the fiesta of Sant Joan in Ciutadella on June 23rd and 24th, a period of merriment based around the concept of representatives of various bodies and trades riding on horseback to a small local chapel to honour their patron. This is followed by numerous Medieval games that are also played out on horseback, some of which include jousting bouts or arm-in-arm racing that are both nerve-wracking and exhilarating to watch.
And if, amongst all the celebration, a little part of you pines for home, satisfy that craving with a glass of gin – traditionally enjoyed with lemonade or fresh lemon juice whilst observing the parades and festivities as a nod to the former British settlement on the island!
Horses also feature in Majorca for the Sant Antoni de Juny fiesta, but for different reasons, as you can enjoy the bizarre sight of locals dressing up as horses amongst the great feast that takes place in Arta, while in Pollenca, the Corpus Christi day celebrations incorporate a ‘Dance of the Eagles’ in the main city square. The Romeria de Sant Marcal is a fair celebrated in various parts of the island on the last day of the month, where local pottery and ceramic creations take to the fore.
Ibiza joins in with its neighbours by also celebrating Sant Joan, albeit with more of a party flavour and mass bonfires, while Formentera also plays on the fire theme as they light up at midnight, but the celebration here takes on a more spiritual approach by focussing on burning away any bad memories that have taken place since the last incarnation of the festival.
You won’t have any bad memories of your trip to the Balearics if you base yourself on board Nakita. We can take you where you want to go during this fun month for the islands paradises, or simply sit back and let us make the decisions for you as part of a relaxing magical mystery tour.
Take a look at our Availability Calendar to find out when you can set sail with us.
