The Montuïri City Council has begun work to connect a new water supply well to the municipal network, an urgent measure whose main objective is to minimize the severe water crisis that the municipality is suffering.

The large Molinar de Montuïri building, popularly known as the Ecomuseum, will house the Balearic Islands Sports Interpretation Center (CIEIB). The Balearic Government, through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports, headed by Jaume Bauzà, a native of Montuïri, is working towards this goal. While nothing is finalized at this time, discussions for an agreement with the Montuïri City Council, the building's owner, are well advanced. Sources at the Ministry of Tourism explain that the initial plan was to finalize the agreement this February, but it will take several weeks to complete the proposal.

Last night, the Montuïri Town Council unanimously approved awarding the honorary title of Mayor of Puig 2026 to Maria Antònia Rigo Gallard for her career and contribution to the educational, social, civic, and cultural improvement of the municipality. Maria Antònia Rigo is a teacher with a renowned passion for teaching and the pursuit of new pedagogical approaches in schools. She has been the principal of the CEIP Climent Serra i Servera school in Porreres, where she currently teaches. However, her impact on Montuïri extends far beyond the classroom: the official document highlights her "unparalleled dedication and commitment to numerous local associations." This award, traditionally presented by the Town Council on behalf of all citizens, recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the betterment of the municipality throughout their lives.

The Llucmajor Town Council has sidelined the Banya Foc demon from the official Sant Antoni festival events due to its plagiarism of the Banya Verda demon from Montuïri. Thus, the controversial figure, which debuted at the 2025 Sant Antoni festivities, will not appear this Saturday, the 10th, with the Town Hall demons as it did last year.

From the town square to the council chamber, from local festivals to municipal debates, the Pla de Mallorca is built day by day, town by town. Throughout 2025, the events in the 14 municipalities and the Commonwealth have painted a diverse yet shared picture of a region facing structural challenges while keeping its identity alive.

The studio TEd'A Arquitectes, founded by Irene Pérez Piferrer and Jaume Mayol Amengual from Montuiira, has received three European and national awards between November and December, further solidifying their position as one of the most prominent voices in contemporary architecture from Mallorca. The first of these accolades came on November 7th in Warsaw, where the studio received the BigMat Grand Prize in the local context category for the Ca na Birgit project in Calvià. The project was not only awarded best project nationally but also took home the top European prize, the highest honor of the competition. The jury particularly valued an architecture that works on a local scale, using locally sourced materials and solutions, as well as the involvement of local stakeholders. In this sense, the award also recognizes the work of the builder, and in this case, the recognition went to Joan Sastre Cerdà, 'Pollet', which the studio, both Pérez and Mayol, highlighted as a cause for special joy.

No clucking, no cooing, no hooting, no crowing, no nervousness from the decoy hunters, not even a single feather. This has been the dominant theme at the Montuïri Partridge Fair this morning. All the hustle and bustle of hunters and decoy hunters has turned into heated discussions about the absence of partridges and the refusal of the Regional Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Agriculture to allow the 46th edition of the Montuïri Partridge Fair due to the restrictions imposed by the avian flu health crisis.

The plenary hall of the Montuïri Town Hall was too small to accommodate all the people who wanted to attend the inauguration of Toni Miralles NiellChocolatier as the new mayor of Montuïri. He has done so in compliance with the governing pact with MÉS per Montuïri, which gives the mayorship to the socialists until the end of this term and 42 years and one month after the last PSIB-PSOE mayor took office.

Paula Maria Amengual Nicolau (MÁS per Montuïri) will step down as mayor of her town next Tuesday. On Thursday, she will hand over the mayoral office to her coalition partner, Antoni Miralles Niell, of the PSIB, as part of their governing agreement. In this interview, we take stock of her time in office, having become the first female mayor in Montuïri's history in June 2023.

The latest measures approved by the Balearic Islands Government to curb the spread of avian influenza, recently published in the BOIB (Official Gazette of the Balearic Islands), have forced the cancellation of the traditional partridge calling competition at the Montuïri Partridge Fair. Even so, the City Council has opted to maintain the fair, despite not being able to include the bird that gives the event its name. The event will take place on December 7th, and the City Council is now working to find alternative activities that can feature the partridge but without live birds. The Montuïri Hunting Society, which has organized the competition since its inception, stated that "we have done everything possible to continue holding the competition; we offered to implement all possible preventative measures, but the Ministry of Agriculture has rejected all our proposals and suggestions." Thus, with resignation, they have had to accept that for the first time in 47 editions, and not counting the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no decoys at the Partridge Fair. This limitation directly affects fairs, exhibitions, livestock shows, and all kinds of displays involving birds, according to the published regulations, and therefore prevents the celebration of the partridge exhibition and the competition, central elements of the Montuïri fair. The Montuïri Partridge Calling Competition is one of the oldest and most renowned in Mallorca and throughout Spain. It began in 1979 and over time became an essential meeting point for decoy and hunting enthusiasts. Throughout the decades, the event has been much more than a competition: it has become a space for transmitting knowledge, techniques, and traditions linked to the red-legged partridge and the hunting culture of Mallorca.

The Montuïri Town Council will soon award grants for improvements to the town totaling more than €500,000. These projects include the adaptation of the surroundings of the Son Fornés archaeological center; the environmental and functional improvement of Avenida del Dau; and the repair and paving of several public paths in the municipality.

Beatriz del Monte was born in Madrid in 1994, but grew up in Villamayor de Santiago, a village in Cuenca. When she visits her godmother's house, she discovers the patience, love, and transformation that cooking entails. She learns popular sayings and proverbs. She sees in the clothes on the line (underwear, socks, tablecloths) the exposure of people's dirty patches, evidence of sensitivity and humanity. The ladles, pots, and any object in the domestic landscape hide a story that she tries to decipher with her musical project, Bewis de la Rosa, which released its debut album in 2023. Love more than everThis Saturday, August 30th, he will present it in Mallorca, as part of the La Luna en Vers festival, on the Molinar de Montuïri esplanade.

Satisfaction, recognition, and pride in having been Cossieres. These were the words expressed by the four Cossieres women who received, on Saint Bartholomew's Day, a visit and dance from the Cossiers of Montuïri.

The People's Party (PP) won the May 2023 municipal elections in the Balearic Islands, controlling 33 of the islands' 67 municipalities. Although it governs many of them with agreements that guarantee it the mayoralty for the entire term, some municipalities have established governance agreements that provide for a shared term, such as the one between José Hila (PSIB) and Toni Noguera (MÁS) in Palma between 2015 and 2019, where a change of mayoral office was agreed upon two years ago.
