Sa Rua

In Mallorca, the Carnival is also known as the Darrers dies (Last days), in reference to the arrival of the Christian Lent and with it, the prohibition to eat meat. It begins with the dijous gras, and extends throughout the weekend with concerts, dances and a disguised group parade. The most crowded ones are in Sa Rua, Sa Rueta and in Palma. (The one in Palma is a child’s one). They end with the traditional burial of the sardine.

Besides in  Palma, Carnival is also celebrated in Alcúdia, Andratx, Calvià, Capdepera, Costitx, Esporles, Mancor de la Vall, Muro, Porreres, Puigpunyent, Sant Joan, Son Carrió (Sant Llorenç des Cardassar), Sóller, Valldemossa.
