This May there's a chance to sample a slice of Mediterranean life in the centre of Manchester, when an exciting new free festival arrives in the city. The centre of Manchester will come alive when more than 200 performers, musicians and entertainers from mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera take to the streets with a progreamme of contemporary and traditional events showcasing the four islands.
For 4 days over the bank holiday weekend [May 1-4], Manchester's famous Albert Square will be transformed into "Alberto Square", with many of the events taking place in a giant perspex pavilion - one of the biggest structures Albert Square has ever seen. This will be used as the main stage, allowing people to see the performances for inside and out, whatever the weather.
Other attractions will include street theatre, jugglers, stilt walkers, dancing, contemporary and traditional music, fashion shows, and Correfoc - daring fire displays, performed by devils on the run!. [article taken from "Living Spain" magazine].
