Llubí is a municipality in the autonomous community of Balearic Islands, Spain. Located on the island of Mallorca, in the region of Pla de Mallorca, northwest of the capital, almost in the center of Mallorca and 40 kilometers from the Balearic capital, Palma de Mallorca. It celebrates its patron saint festivities, those of Sant Feliu, every August 1st. It also celebrates the Festes de s'Ermita. The Fair is also celebrated on the first Tuesday after Santa Catalina. Etymologically, Llubí comes from the Roman toponym Castro-lupino, which derived in Castell Llubí, which today is known as Llubí as it could be due to the fact that to the south there is a prehistoric Talayotic settlement fortified with a cyclopean wall. Previously Llubí was a "llogaret" (a group of houses that belonged to another village) depended on the village of Muro which is located near the village.
