The Sencelles Town Hall will take the municipality's water situation to the Environmental Prosecutor's Office. The Consistory has announced this drastic measure so that both the origin of the chemical contamination detected in the Son Saletes network – which has forced the water to be declared unfit for human consumption – and the possible administrative omissions accumulated over more than two decades can be investigated. In parallel, the government team has demanded the immediate and precautionary suspension of discharges from the industrial laundry Elis Mallorca (formerly Lavanderías Diana) until it is clarified whether it is related to this episode.

Being able to swim again in the Manacor municipal pool will still take time, but the City Council has already taken a decisive step to recover the facility. The municipal plenary session has approved the agreement with the bankruptcy administration of Esquitxos de Blavor SL, the former concessionaire, which will allow the Consistory to regain full rights to the sports space.

On Saturday at 7:00 a.m., while waiting for the arrival of the delegation from Vall de Laguar (Alicante) at the port of Palma, the councilwoman of Petra, Catalina Gibert, thought that this group of people was making "the reverse journey" to what her Petrarchan ancestors did "more than 400 years ago, when they were expelled from Mallorca". The reflection summarizes the meaning of the twinning that these two municipalities have formalized this weekend, united by a shared history that is still preserved today in nicknames, gastronomy, and collective memory.

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.

Historic day for Sant Joan and, especially, for local and regional socialism. Catalina Perelló Pascual has taken possession of the command staff of the City Council and has thus become the first mayor in the history of the municipality under the PSIB-PSOE banner. With this appointment, Perelló becomes the third woman to head the Sant Joan Council, following in the footsteps of her predecessors, Maria Teresa Munar Caimari (UM) and Catalina Gayà Bauzà (AxSJ).

The latest problems and criticisms made public by users who have not been able to bury their loved ones, due to security issues, in family tombs, have led the City Council to now face the urgent need to reform the old part of the Son Coletes municipal cemetery in Manacor. Although the space, redeveloped between 1953 and 1957 after its initial use during the plague, has been in a state of evident degradation for years due to the passage of time and lack of maintenance, it is only in recent weeks that the Council has decided to take action.

There are places that have soul, spirit, and strength, but too often we forget that a good part of that soul is given by people. In the Randa massif - already within the municipality of Llucmajor - under the beauty of the majestic rock, is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Grace. A space that for more than half a century has had two faces that define it: the Algaidinians Sebastián Amengual and Francisca Miralles, the lay brothers of Gracia.

At number 27 on Joan d’Àustria street in Inca, behind a shop window full of fabrics and embroidery, there is a space where solidarity takes shape. It is the workshop of Punts amb Vida, the most visible project of the Inca Solidària association.

Trash cans thrown on the ground, misplaced dirt, and damage to public space. Sant Joan has had enough of a series of uncivil behaviors that, according to the City Council, not only degrade the municipality but also affect the sense of community.

More than twenty years ago, the Pollença Wine Fair was almost an excuse to meet, toast, and build community. A more festive than specialized event, where wine served as a common thread to bring together friends, producers, and the curious in a much more informal atmosphere than what we know today.

The Government defends the project for the second electrical link between the Islands and the Peninsula as an "essential" infrastructure to guarantee supply and advance the energy transition. The Executive especially endorses the route planned through La Herradura, in Alcudia, which it considers the most viable option from both a technical and environmental point of view.

The Santa Maria del Camí Town Council this Sunday named singer Llorenç Santamaria an Illustrious Son during an extraordinary plenary session held at Ses Cases des Mestres, coinciding with the town's Fair Day. The agreement was approved unanimously by all municipal groups.

The Artà City Council has opened a disciplinary file against a company that organizes tourist routes in Mallorca, following actions detected recently in the municipality, which constitute a breach of current regulations. The events occurred last Tuesday, after a citizen alerted about the presence of people spray-painting in the public street. Based on this alert, the responsible company was identified, the City Council documented the facts, and has prepared the corresponding report.

The promenade of Palmanova's Mar will host on April 18 and 19 a cultural weekend that consolidates a significant change in Calvià's festive model. The municipality will celebrate Book Day and, the following day, Saint George, patron saint of England, in an institutional effort to strengthen the link with British tourism.

Every Thursday afternoon, sa Pobla would stop in front of the television. On the screen, there were the festivals, the news, the neighbors, the familiar faces. It was the town looking at itself.

Costitx has lost more than just a neighbor. It has lost one of its most authentic intellectual and spiritual references. Rafel Horrach i Llabrés of Can Mal (Costitx, 1955) has died at the age of 70, leaving a legacy that goes beyond the cassock or history books: the man who knew how to explain who we are so that we know where we should go is gone.

On California Street in Petra, at the head of the street named after Father Francesc Palou, the day has begun long before sunrise every morning for over a century. This custom may change starting in August. Can Jaume des Forn, the last bakery in Petra, will close its doors forever if nothing is done to stop it. Lita Torrens Font (Petra, 1961), who has worked in the family business for over forty years, is now ready to retire. For the last ten years, she has run the business alone, inherited from her husband Jaume's godparents, who had to relinquish it due to illness. The daily ritual of buying bread amidst the warmth and aromas of a traditional bakery to put on the table is in danger. This often imperceptible custom, sometimes undervalued precisely because it has always existed, could disappear from Petra's urban landscape, as has already happened in other municipalities of the Pla de Mallorca region.

Work has begun on the first phase of the renovation of the Convent of San Francisco de Paula, also known as the Convent of the Minims, in Sineu. This project is being carried out by the Consell de Mallorca (Island Council of Mallorca) and the Diocese of Sineu as part of an agreement for the restoration of ecclesiastical heritage sites. The Church of San Francisco de Paula is one of the municipality's most important heritage sites. According to a preliminary study, the building was in "generally acceptable condition, but with evident problems of water leaks and deterioration of the cladding, making intervention necessary." This initial phase, costing €70,000, involves monitoring existing cracks and focusing particularly on the roof to prevent further leaks. This intervention is considered urgent and includes actions such as the installation of crack gauges to monitor cracks, the repair of roof tiles, and the waterproofing of the facade's crown. The most significant intervention is the repair and waterproofing of the facade, which accounts for the majority of the budget. According to the mayor of Sineu, Tomeu Mulet, "the works will last 15 days, since the building is one of the places where the Holy Week floats are stored, and the scaffolding must be removed to allow for their removal." The convent church was built starting in the 17th century and forms part of the collective memory of the municipality. In addition to its architectural interest, the building is considered a key element of the town's urban landscape. The restoration project is thus part of the effort to preserve this heritage for future generations.

The citizens' platform ANACA reiterated its willingness to maintain a constructive dialogue with the Alcúdia City Council and asked to reopen the debate on the route of the electric cable after the meeting held this Monday with the mayor and members of the Council.

Maria Agnès Sampol Sabater (Porreres, 1986) has become the new mayor of Porreres, 27 years after the People's Party (PP) last governed the municipality, replacing Xisca Mora Veny. She assumed the position as part of a governing pact signed between the PP and El Pi after each party won four seats in the 2023 elections, while Más won five.
