| There has been a Oktoberfest beer festival held in Peguara for a few years now, but this year it was decided to move it to Santa Ponsa. I don't know if this is a permanent move. We decided to take a trip over there one afternoon in the early part of the holiday, as it had been raining in the morning, and we figured that drinking beer in a beer tent wasn't too bad an option We took the bus from Palmanova to Santa Ponsa which was the 104 bus, and the cost was €1.55 each. Being mid afternoon, it wasn't too busy, but you could get the flavour of the place from the sweet stalls that were set up outside, and from the various cars on display. The inside of the hall was set up with two stages, the big one was for the evening show, but there was a band on, on the other stge, during the afternoon. As well as the traditional 'Stein's' of Lager, served by the litre, there was a fair size selection of hot and cold food, obviously the menu reflected the German nature of the Festival. The prices were a little on the expensive side, but this was to be expected really, it's no different to any commercial event in the world. A 'waiter' dressed in traditional Lederhosen took our order, and soon we all had very large Steins of lager to consume! Jan managed to get a laugh when she first went to pick up her beer, as it was so heavy she couldn't lift it! (But she soon mastered it ) Shortly after we had settled down, Nannyjen arrived for our first ever meeting, she was anxious to create the right first impression! There was also pony rides out the back, and a small fun fair at the front. There was a whisper that Yozef might make an appearance, so horses of a suitable size were on standby An enjoyable afternoon out. |

| Agreed Ro.
I see you still spell it as Paguera... it seems to be spelt Peguera these days, - any idea why?
It was Paguera when I had a week there in approx 83, - my first visit to Majorca. We had a night out in Magaluf from there, Benny Hills was the first pub we went to. Didn't even know about the strip in those days lol |

| Mark, I haven't seen the different spelling, I will make a point of it next time! You do see some names spelt differently over there!
1983 eh, you sure you haven't got any snaps?! |

A bit like Magaluf Mark, is it Magaluf or Magalluf, one "l" or two? _________________ Mick

| It might be something to do with all the street signs now being in Catalan, rather than Spanish.
Like, have you noticed Playa is Platja? |

| Great pics again rep sent. when i was there in may there was a very similar funfair and stages set up in the pine woods with beer tents. It was a festival of some sort. The local bar owners dont like it as their trade suffers but its only a few days at a time and its gone. |
