Ibiza's disco village of San Rafael celebrates its patron saint's fiesta on the 24th October, but of course has lots of events happening before and after the main day. There's lots of live music, games and sports – of interest to horse lovers will be the guided tour of the gigantic (it can be seen from space – the outer one, not the disco) horse breeding farm Los Olivos just by the tunnel on the main road.
As always, I've selected the events that will be of interest also to visitors to the island, which all (unless otherwise stated) take place in a marquee in the village, so here they are:
14th 23.30 – Live music with The Lost Mountain Orchestra
15th 21.00 – Octoberfest Beer and Rock with Uncle Sam, Pota Lait, Dr. Calypso and a big surprise
16th 12.00 – Trotting races at the hippodrome
22nd 21.00 – Soulexplosion with the Soulexplosion band, Javi Box, TheSelectors and The Stone Corners
.
23rd 11.00 – Guided tour of Los Olivos stud farm
23rd 19.00 – Folk music and dancing festival
24th 13.30 – Folk Dancing
24th 21.30 – Cabaret and Comedy night
and to round it all off on the 5th November there's a 'Peace and Love' hippy/flower power/60's,70's festival starting at 22.00 where you can dig your old flares and flowers out and go dressed the part.
