Attractions and Amenities

Sant Juliá is always remembered on the 9th of January with the first fiesta of the year, although unlike many of those to follow later in the summer this is a strictly religious event.

The main fiesta of the summer, in honour of the Lady of August, takes place between the 7th and 15th August each year. This includes a number of popular sporting and leisure events that usually gets most of the local community involved.

Also worth a mention, if only because the area around Campos is primarily agricultural, every year on the second Sunday of May, the town hosts an event called the “Feria Ramadera”, which is the National competition of the Friesian breed of cattle. This event is often jokily referred to by the small number of Brits that live in the town as “Crufts for cows”.

Continuing with the agricultural theme, Campos holds twice weekly fruit and produce markets on a Thursday and Saturday throughout the year. In common with many of the traditional markets on the island, these tend to start quite early in the morning and finish shortly after lunch before the heat of the day really sets in.

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.
