"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.

Around a hundred workers from nursery schools, called by the unions CCOO, UGT, and STEI, have started a new day of strike this Tuesday with a protest in front of the Parliament.

The heavy rain this Friday in Palma has caused a water fountain on the promenade at the height of the Avenidas to burst. The power of the water expelled by the leak in the pipe simulates a geyser. The problem, in addition to the waste of water it entails, is that the liquid that shoots out of the water fountain expels dirty water and the smell that emanates causes residents to have to move away from the area.
