Felanitx is a municipality in the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands, located in the southeast of Majorca, 48 kilometres (30 miles) from the capital Palma de Mallorca. Since 1603, when the St. Agustí convent was founded, Felanitx has been famous for Els Cavallets dance, in which seven boys of between 10 and 13 years of age, wearing white trousers, red tops and green hats, dance around ''La Dama'', another child in a dress who waves a handkerchief to the music. All dancers were male until fairly recently, when young girls were permitted to join. The town, dating back to the 13th century, lies near the medieval Sant Salvador Monastery with its Gothic architecture. ==Economy== Felanitx is also known for its wine and particularly its brandy, with over 60 distilleries in the local area recorded in 1749 (). It is a center of production of earthenware watercoolers and other pottery since at least the 3rd century BC (). A weekly market takes place in Felanitx ever Sunday morning. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Felanitx」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
