Sa Rua in Calvià

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).

Calvia, krewes and floats of Sa Rua transfer us to the world of superheroes, pirates, fairies .. characters who illustrate the winning poster contest this year, entitled Ultreia et Suseia  and is the work of José Luis Díez Fernández.

Sa Rua will have the following schedule: Carrer Ses Quarterades, Carrer Major, Avinguda de Palma, Carrer Julià Bujosa Sans and arrival to the City Council parking.
