Las Sant Joan festivities in Ciutadella, Menorca, are one of the most emblematic and anticipated celebrations of the Balearic Islands. Below, I present a tour of this festival full of history and color:
Origin and Protocols: Since the 14th century, a pilgrimage has been celebrated to the rural hermitage of Saint John of Misa, located 3 kilometers from Ciutadella. The Board of Cashiers (riders) ensures compliance with the rules and protocols of the festivals. They represent the main groups of traditional Menorcan society. The ATMs they include the cashier señor (noble), cashier chapel (curate), cashier casat (married), cashier fadrí (single) and cashiers peasants (peasants).
