Contesporles 2025 returns once again to fill the streets, squares and private homes of Esporles (Mallorca) with magic, imagination and storytelling for all audiences. The eagerly awaited Esporles Storytelling Festival will take place on May 10 and 11, 2025, offering a programme full of activities for children and adults, performances in different languages, workshops, exhibitions and lots of literature.

This festival stands out for its unique format, where private homes become intimate stages and the village streets turn into an open book. With both free and paid activities, it is advisable to purchase tickets in advance online via www.ticketib.com, as capacity is limited.
