Attractions
Despite Colonia Sant Jordi being one of the smaller resorts on the island,
the Majorca Tourist Information Service (OIT - Oficines d'Informacio Turistica de Mallorca),
still have offices in the town at:
Calle Dr. Barraquer, 5
07638
Colonia de Sant Jordi
Telephone: +34 971 656 073
Fax: +34 971 656 447
A small local produce market is held in Colonia Sant Jordi every Wednesday afternoon, and then again the following morning at nearby Ses Salines. The same traders tend as a rule to attend both markets, so the variety and range of stalls does tend to be somewhat limited.
A trip to Mallorca wouldn't be the same if you missed the local Fiesta.
The Fiesta at Colonia de Sant Jordi is held the first Sunday in August every year.
The event really starts on the Friday evening, and continues until the very early hours of
Sunday morning. However, in addition to this the full fiesta and events calendar for the
municpality is:
The Fiesta of Sant Antoni held on 17th January,
The Fiesta of Sant Jordi on the 23rd April,
The "Fira-Espectacle del Primer de Maig" on 1st May, and
The Fiesta of Sant Bartomeu in Ses Salines on the 24th August
If you have access to a car, certainly worth a visit is the Botanicactus garden.
Not only is this the largest botanical garden in Europe, covering an area of 150,000 m2,
it also has the largest navigable lake in the Balearic Islands. Once inside you’ll find a
collection of over than 1,000 types of plants ranging from the common Majorcan cactus,
to a 300 year old specimen of the “Carnegie Giant” cactus from Arizona.
The Botanicactus is open every day of the year from around 9:00am to dusk and entrance to the
park is quite reasonable at around £4.00 each for adults. Contact details are:
