Mallorca Fiestas in Januar. "San Antoni", "San Sebastian". The devil is free!

The Devil's Festival of Sant Antoni is a traditional festival on the Spanish island of Mallorca. It is celebrated every year on January 16th and 17th and is particularly popular in the north and east of the island.

The festival is dedicated to Saint Anthony, the patron saint of animals. It is therefore also known as the “festa of cattle”. On the eve of the festival, January 15th, the so-called "Revetlla de Sant Antoni" takes place in many places in Mallorca. This is a big party with music, dancing and fireworks.

On the actual day of the festival, January 16th, large fires, the so-called "foguerons", are burned in the villages and towns of Mallorca. People dance and celebrate near the fires. There are also parades with devil masks.

The devil masks are an important part of the devil's festival. They are often made of wood or papier-mâché and feature a menacing face with horns, teeth and a long tail. The devils dance and jump through the streets and supposedly drive away evil spirits.
