The development of the Transition Areas planned for Manacor could expand the municipality, which already has more than 24,000 inhabitants, beyond the 50,000 it already has. This could significantly impact small towns, such as Son Macià, which would triple its current population. This bombshell has been defused (for now) by Manacor City Council, but it worries environmental groups and the Balearic Government is keeping on the table.

Ten years ago, a group of young farmers from the Manacor village of Son Macià, united to hold Saturday markets and sell their produce, accepted the challenge of getting a 1940s machine working again. A groundbreaking traditional machine that allows members to decide what to do with their produce.
