Fiestas
The cycle of popular fiestas held in each town starts in Ciutadella , with the celebration of San Joan . The horse is the central figure in the festivities : tens of thousands of people sorround these noble animals , shouting and clapping to encourage them , while dancing to a rythmic beat is characteristic of these fiesta. The fiesta of San Joan is the most representative of the islandรก celebrations , as much for its antiquity as for its great pulling power. It is dificuls to date the beguining of this tradition , although it certainly started before the Middle Ages . The caixers ( riders ) play a central role , and not everyone can go to the fiestas on horseback : there is a strict protocol wich must be observed in order that the fiestas retain their meaning. Fiestas and summer are very closely interlink as , following the San Joan fiestas , the celbrations in other municipal districts and towns follow on until the fiestas of Mao , at the beguining of september. Each place has its own special features wich can be noted if the visitor is prepared for careful observation , although the horse continues in its central role in the fiesta. Menorca fiestas are the most popular in the Bealirc islands and power of atraction increases awith the passage of time.
