Palma Fiesta: San Sebastian 2012

concerts are held in all of Palma's main squares

Palma de Mallorca's biggest celebration of the year is just around the corner and despite a bit of belt tightening by the town hall's finance bods, it looks like it's going to be as good as ever.

As usual the big day is the 19th when concerts are held in all of Palma's main squares with live music, dancing, BBQs and lots of merry making when hundreds of thousands of people throng the streets and each plaza features a different type of music – rock, jazz, folk, flamenco and so on.
