Eighteen days, two islands and a constellation of hidden bays — from the limestone cliffs of Mallorca through the secret coves of Ibiza and Formentera, and onward to the wild coastline of Menorca.

Spain in summer means festes. Several fall during our charter — worth timing a port visit around. Confirm precise programmes with the crew closer to the date.
Spain's patron saint. Bands, parades and fireworks across Mallorca — Alcúdia and Santanyí throw particularly good ones. We'll be crossing to Ibiza but it's worth knowing.
Ibiza's older quarters fill with concerts and fireworks. If we're in Cala Jondal that night the glow is visible from anchor.
Patroness of Ibiza — processions, ancient ball pagès folk dancing, fireworks. We'll be in Menorca but it's the island's biggest summer festival.
Menorca's defining summer tradition — neighbourhood patron-saint days with horses jumping into crowds (the "jaleo"). Wear closed shoes ashore on festa nights.
Open evenings in summer. Long-running institution: clothes, crafts, music. Great after a tender ashore from Porroig.
Not a festival, an institution. Locals walk the harbour-front from 19:00 onward, before dinner. Joining the paseo is one of summer's quietest pleasures.
