Indignation and bewilderment among the devil groups of Palma after the City Council has limited to 11 the number of annual correfocs in the neighborhoods of the entire City. The measure, recently approved, represents a radical change from the previous situation, in which there was no limit and activities were managed according to the demand and organizational capacity of the neighborhoods and the groups.

HeAtlas of the demons of Mallorca, by Xesc Alemany and Bárbara Sansó (Susaeta); The demons of the little porthole, by Neus Coll and Roberto Campillo (Literary Island), and Ona the demonWritten by Núria Duran and also illustrated by Bárbara Sansó (Triangle Kids), these are just three of the more than fifteen children's and young adult books published in the last five years that deal, from different perspectives, with the festival of Sant Antoni in Mallorca or, more specifically, its central figure: the devil.

The bonfires are burning brighter than ever in the villages of Pla de Mallorca. While not reaching the intensity or centrality of the festival in towns like Sa Pobla, Muro, Pollença, Artà, Manacor, and throughout the Levante region of Mallorca, Sant Antoni has been recovering and reinterpreting itself in places where, for decades, it had been almost exclusively relegated to the religious sphere or to the blessed figures. All it took was blowing out the embers that had remained smoldering like a hanging fire.

Inca continues to strengthen its popular culture with the arrival of a new festive figure: the Demoni Bogiot, a character inspired by an ancient legend who, from now on, will accompany the Cossiers in their performances. The initiative, promoted by the Verbena de Inca cultural association, aims to revitalize and make this emblematic tradition more participatory. Until now, the Cossiers dance was only performed inside the church, but with the arrival of Bogiot—a mischievous farmer who embodies the more playful and earthly side of the town—the dance will now take to the streets. The new demon made his first appearance this Sunday during the festival of Santa María la Mayor, patron saint of Inca, amidst bonfires, demons, and folk music. The next dance of the Cossiers and the Demoni Bogiot will be on Easter Sunday.

Saint John has spoken once again, and the seven demons of the Cultural Center, who embody the seven deadly sins, have been condemned. However, this year, shortly after, in an exercise of incoherence and a demonstration of double standards, the town has committed the sin of its throat.

The Demon of His Revolt of Vilafranca, Boio, is retiring after 10 years. Guillem Mas Barceló made his final retreat on Saturday during the Diada Revoltera, and in the early hours of Sunday, August 3rd, he will experience his final Revolt as a demon.
