The grand finale will be on Sunday 16 with the traditional Cycling Tour to es Llombards.

The mayor of Santanyí, Maria Pons, wanted to send a message of affection to the residents: “Once again, the Cala Llombards festivities are here, festivities that identify us, root us, and remind us of the strength of a community that knows how to celebrate, share, and keep its tradition alive.” Pons thanked all the people, entities, and volunteers who make this programme possible.

“Every year, when August arrives, our Cala dresses up to celebrate the Mare de Déu d'Agost festivities. These are days filled with joy, togetherness, and tradition.”

This was expressed by the mayor's representative in Cala Llombards, José Simeón, who also thanked the collaboration of the Cala Llombards Neighbourhood Association, the Friends of Cala Llombards Association, and the local youth.

The organisation reminds that the festivities committee reserves the right to modify the programme for reasons of force majeure. Events will be held at various locations in Cala Llombards, and most activities are free to access, designed for attendees to enjoy festive days during the peak summer season.
