The most traditional fiesta is that of Saint Joan, dating back to the beginning of the 14th century.  the celebration includes a procession on horseback to a small rural chapel to honor Saint Joan and includes representatives from all the social strata: the church, nobility, craftsmen and country people.  The celebration includes all ages, from 7 to more than 70!

The typical drink of all of the fiestas of the island is Menorca's own gin, a heritage of the English.  It is commonly paired with lemonade or fresh lemon juice and called "pomada" in most of the island.

Aside from the summer revelry and fiestas there is not much of a party scene on the island of Menorca, especially compared to its sister islands Majorca and Ibiza. 

There are however a number of bars which you can visit if you would like to go out in the evenings, but just don't expect the amount of live music, DJs, drinking, and youth that you would find on the other islands.  Bring your Menorca car hire out to find just the right evening party for your taste on the island.
