A traditional folk dance in Ciutadella offers foodie travellers another taste of Menorcan culture

Foodie travellers visiting Ciutadella this Saturday, 26 September, can complement their gastronomic discovery of Menorca with an experience rooted in the island’s traditional culture. From 7.30 pm, Plaça Nova in Ciutadella will host a popular folk dance featuring the groups Tramuntana and Castell de Sant Felip.

The event offers visitors an opportunity to experience one of Menorca’s living cultural traditions: folk music and dancing enjoyed together in a public square. It is not simply a performance to watch, but a gathering where those who feel like dancing are invited to join in.

For foodie travellers, it fits naturally into an evening in Ciutadella. A walk through the historic centre can be followed by the folk dance and then dinner at one of the town’s restaurants — or the event can provide a lively cultural interlude after an early meal.

It is also a chance to discover Ciutadella beyond its monuments and dining scene, sharing a local gathering with residents and experiencing how traditional music and dance remain part of everyday Menorcan cultural life.
