Trotting races in Menorca

Trotting races have been an extremely popular sport in the Balearic Islands for over two hundred years.

These horse-and-cart races are held in Mahon and Ciudadela hippodromes at summer weekends. It is different to normal horse racing in that the riders have to keep the horses at trotting speed and not allow the animals to break into a gallop.

The jokeys are dressed in silk and ride Roman style chariots around sandy circuits.

It is great fun to watch and even more exciting if you have placed a bet on a horse and it comes in first.

Bicentenary of the Santa Marina organ

Santa Maria church

A concert by the oldest active organist in Spain, Montserrat Torrent, who first performed on the organ more than fifty years ago, marked the start of the bicentennial celebrations at the Santa Maria church.

The organ was built by Johann Kybutz and Francis Otter and brought from Austria by Admiral Collingwood; it has 4 keyboards and 3.120 tubes and was inaugurated the 30^th of September 1810.

Concerts, exhibitions and conferences will take place throughout the year to mark the 200^th anniversary of the inauguration.
