August Patron Saint Festivities

The patron saint festivities of Es Caló are one of the most important events of the year in this picturesque village on the island of Formentera. They take place at the small fishing pier, usually on the Saturday closest to August 28th, the feast day of their patron saint, Sant Agustí.

During the celebration, the residents and visitors of Es Caló come together to enjoy a series of activities that represent the best of the local culture and tradition. One of the highlights is the traditional dance, where dancers dressed in their regional costumes sway to the rhythm of folk music.

An open-air evening mass is also celebrated, creating a special moment where the community gathers in prayer to honor their patron saint. Additionally, attendees can indulge in the tasting of typical sweets such as “bunyols” and “oreites,” which are a true delight for the palate.
Another activity that cannot be missed during the patron saint festivities of Es Caló is the “cantada pagesa,” where local singers perform traditional songs of the island accompanied by the beat of drums and the “xeremiers,” a type of traditional flute from the Pitiusas. Furthermore, a musical performance takes place in a setting of unparalleled beauty.

Despite the lively atmosphere that often characterizes many popular festivals, in Es Caló, the ambiance is tranquil and relaxed in line with the spirit of the village. It is a unique opportunity to discover the culture and history of this beautiful community and to share unforgettable moments with the local people.
