Thousands of people marched through the center of Palma this Saturday to demand the right to housing. The National Police estimated an attendance of about 3,000 people, while the organizing entities put the figure at around 10,000. For nearly two hours, house keys jingled among the protesters, and chants such as "Get landlords out of our neighborhoods," "Neither people without homes nor homes without people," and "Long live the working class struggle" accompanied a march that passed through some of the most central and expensive streets in the city.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Palma and Ibiza this Sunday (where the Police speak of 4,500 people and the organization, of 10,000) to protest against the increase in airport capacity and demand that air traffic growth be curbed. The demonstration in the capital of the Balearic Islands began at 6:00 p.m. in front of the Government Delegation and ended at the Consolat de la Mar, with the slogan 'No more expansion, no more promotion'. The protest was called by the Platform against the Airport Expansion and was attended by neighborhood, environmental and social organizations.

A group of Palma residents turned the Escorxador into a meeting point with a protest dinner outdoors to demand that this municipal space recover its activity and once again play a central role in the life of the neighborhood.

The video of an argument between a carriage driver and a German tourist in the center of Palma continues to generate reactions.

"We want to swim at the Moll again!". With this slogan, dozens of people gathered this Sunday at the Port of Pollença in a day called by Arrels Marines to demand improvements in water quality and to recover the use of the coastline by residents.

On Wednesday, August 12, coinciding with the total solar eclipse, the Balearic Islands will face a day with a very high or extreme forest fire danger level in a large part of the territory. This is not just a consequence of high temperatures: the index used this year by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) combines various meteorological and environmental factors to determine how favorable it is for a fire to occur and spread.

"Our Lady of the Angels, assist us! Pollencins, rise up, the pirates are here!" The cry of Joan Mas has once again resounded through the streets of Pollença this Sunday and has kicked off the mock battle of Moors and Christians, the central act of the Patron Saint's festival and one of the most emblematic historical reenactments in Mallorca. Thousands of people have filled the historic center to follow a new recreation of the defense of the town against the corsair attack of 1550, on a day that has once again turned the town into an open-air stage.

Every summer, before the Patron Saint's festivities begin, Pollença experiences another date marked on the calendar: the election of the characters for the Mock Battle of Moors and Christians. More than 4,300 people have participated this year in a vote that decides who will bring to life the most emblematic characters of the festival and which, over the years, has become much more than a simple ballot count. It is the moment when the town chooses who will take on the responsibility of representing one of its most cherished traditions.

A large container was the central element this Thursday of a new protest against planned lithium battery storage plant projects in Pollença. Around 200 residents gathered in l'Almadrava, in front of the farm where BESS Servet is planned, to show on the ground the volume that the installation's structures would have.

When talking about tourist pressure in Mallorca, the image is usually that of a large hotel facade. In Pollença, however, the reality is different. The municipality has built a large part of its model on holiday rentals. Today it continues to be one of the municipalities with the most tourist-use homes in the Balearic Islands, and almost 68% of tourist places correspond to this type of accommodation, a reality very different from that of other primarily hotel destinations.
