Fire, Grapes & Battles: Mallorca's Great Summer Fiestas

Three of the island's most spectacular late-summer fiestas — a fire-run through the streets of Sóller, a 10,000-kilo grape battle in Binissalem, and a beach re-enactment of a medieval invasion at Santa Ponça.

When the heat peaks, Mallorca's towns throw their biggest parties of the year. Forget the beach for a night: these three fiestas are the island at its most theatrical — sparks raining over a packed plaza, tonnes of grapes flying between neighbours, and hundreds of costumed locals storming a beach. Each is free, deeply local, and worth planning a day around.

Festes de Sant Bartomeu

Sóller · 24 agosto

The patron-saint fiesta ends with the Nit de Foc — the Esclatabutzes de Sóller fire-run a correfoc through Plaça Constitució, spraying showers of sparks over the crowd.

Binissalem

The grape-harvest festival in the heart of Mallorca's DO wine country, famous for the Gran Batalla de Raïm — some 10,000 kilos of grapes thrown in one gloriously messy morning.
