Sant Antoni festivity (January 16th and 17th) in Mallorca, Balearic Islands.

Sant Antoni (Saint Anthony's Day) is a traditional holiday in the Catalan Countries and some other places with a Christian background, such as parts of Italy.

In Mallorca, the holiday is centred on the story of Saint Anthony resisting the temptations. People dress as demons to represent the temptations, and someone else dresses up as Saint Anthony who defeats them. The song they're singing in the videos tells this story. Each town has their own traditional demon costumes and masks.

‘‘The fiestas for Sant Antoni, patron saint for farm animals, are held around January 17 in a great number of towns of the island. Sa Pobla is one of the towns where Sant Antoni is celebrated most intensely. The preparations begin with the collection of fire wood for the bonfires that will warm up the "Revetlla" of Sant Antoni, the witching night with devils and "ximbombades" (special percussion hand drum).‘‘
