Saint Bartholomew is one of Sant Antoni de Portmany town's two patron saints. Every year, on 24 August, he is celebrated by the town's residents and those who are lucky enough to be staying in the area.
The tradition goes back to the Middle Ages when a miracle occurred in the Bay of Portmany. A group of sailors, caught in a fierce storm that threatened their lives, made a desperate pledge. They vowed that if they were saved, they would make good on their vow in the first place that welcomed them.
Miraculously, they arrived safely on land and went on to fulfill their promise with a mass in honour of the saint, renowned for healing and miracles. Ever since then he has occupied a special place in locals´ hearts.
