Sant Bartomeu Parade

On 24 August, the Sant Bartomeu procession makes its way through the streets of Consell. At its heart are the town’s xeremiers and flabiolers, musicians whose traditional instruments provide the distinctive soundscape for the walk. This kind of street procession captures a particularly communal side of a Mallorcan fiesta: the music is not confined to a stage, but moves through the town itself. If you are in Consell at the end of August, it is a genuine opportunity to experience the local festive tradition surrounding Sant Bartomeu.
