July is full of joy, festivities and traditions. As every year, in Cala Ratjada we celebrate the festivities of the Virgen del Carmen” in honour of the patron saint of sailors and protector of the sea, which reflects our deep fishing tradition and our strong bond with the sea.

These weeks are a time of union and joy for all of us, residents and visitors alike. Our streets become the stage for different activities and events to showcase the best of our maritime culture and heritage.

Celebrating the Virgen del Carmen is not only a way to honour our patron saint, but also to reaffirm our identity and community spirit. It is a perfect opportunity for visitors to experience authentic Mallorcan culture in a festive and welcoming environment. In Cala Ratjada, we open our hearts and our doors to share with everyone the magic of our traditions.

Enjoy the local gastronomy with the best seafood, activities for children, exhibitions, workshops or popular games….. during the day our festival programme offers activities for all ages, and in the evenings the streets are filled with music and dancing. We organise open-air concerts and performances by local groups to entertain young and old alike. There is nothing like enjoying a summer night dancing to typical village songs, sharing laughter and joy with friends and family. …. and don’t miss a delicious cold pomada made by our sailors.
