Culture
Santo Tomas is a young town in the municipality of Es Migjorn Gran, which is the newest of all the municipalities on the island, being founded in the 18th Century. It has an interesting past, having only been officially recognised as a municipality in its own right in 1989, after it was given independence from Es Mercedal, the nearest district. About 20% of the countryside in the area, including some in Santo Tomas, has been marked by the government of the Balearic Islands as being an area of special scientific and environmental interest, so further commercial development of Santo Tomas will be carefully considered.
Because the town only has such a small population, bigger cultural events will be found in better known towns like Son Bou and Cala Galdana, though that's not to say the municipality as a whole doesn't offer an impressive selection of activities. Neighbouring districts Es Migjorn Gran and es Mercadal offer markets that take place every Wednesday and Sunday throughout the year respectively. They run from around 8am until 1pm, so make sure you're in time to avoid disappointment.
You'll be in luck if you're heading to Santo Tomas during the summer too, as you'll be able to catch the annual Fiesta De Sant Cristofol in es Migjorn Gran. This festival celebrates the Patron saint of the town, and features a parade through town with blessings of the local's cars by the village priest! In Es Mercedal meanwhile, July recognises the towns celebration of Sant Marti, which features equestrian shows, parades and music.
Nightlife
Santo Tomas has a registered population of just 59 people so, as you might expect, nightlife is a little less rowdy than bigger nearby towns such as Ciutadella! In recognition of this, your hotel will provide plenty of entertainment suitable for all ages. Despite the town's small population though, during the tourist season it's as lively and thriving as anywhere else, so get out there and explore it!
A visit to Las Dunas will provide a great night for all; its extremely popular with families, and houses pool tables, evening shows and even a small crazy golf course.
