Fiesta on El Toro

No botis sa barrera, Sant Nicolau és sa darrera” says the popular Menorcan saying, very marketable, to refer to the last patron saint festivities held in Menorca, those of Sant Nicolau de Tolentino, whose feast day is on September 10. They are one of the most heartfelt festivals as they mark the end of the cycle of patron saint festivities that take place throughout the summer in Menorca.
