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 Llubí Town Council has launched the mandatory municipal census registration for all pets. This census is established within the framework of the Llubí municipal ordinance regulating animal welfare, which was definitively approved in July. Pet owners can register their animals until February 27, 2026, during Town Hall office hours. This temporary registration period coincides with the ordinance's entry into force. The measure means that all pets within the Llubí municipality must be registered in the census and microchipped. It's important to remember that this ordinance was approved with the aim of guaranteeing animal welfare, promoting responsible pet ownership, reducing abandonment and loss, encouraging adoption, and ensuring respectful coexistence between people and animals in the municipality. Among the most significant changes in the ordinance is the creation of this mandatory municipal census for all pets. Registration in the census is a mandatory requirement for all residents of the municipality who own pets, especially dogs or cats. Microchip identification is also required for all registered animals, along with the issuance and management of a municipal census card for each animal and the obligation to report any change of ownership or address. In case of death or disappearance, the animal must be removed from the census. Obligations are also established regarding the management of feline colonies, adoptions, the collection of abandoned animals, and other related matters. Sanctions Regime

The ordinance's penalty system specifically states that failing to identify or register animals with a microchip is considered a serious offense. Fines range from €750 to €1,500. If there is a repeat offense, or if the offense is considered very serious, the fine can reach up to €3,000. It's worth noting that, in addition to this census now implemented by the City Council, the new regulations include minimum ownership requirements to guarantee the health and well-being of the animals, such as adequate space, food, exercise, and veterinary care. It mandates the sterilization of cats with access to the streets and regulates the management of community cat colonies.

The municipalities of Llubí and Petra have taken an important step in protecting and providing controlled access to their prehistoric and natural heritage with the purchase of the Racons and the Cueva del Buitre (Vulture Cave), respectively. With the support of the Consell de Mallorca (Island Council of Mallorca) and corresponding municipal investments, two plots of land of significant heritage value have recently been acquired, and work will begin on their restoration, accessibility, and management. In fact, aside from being able to carry out maintenance, one of the most important aspects is managing access and consequently keeping the sites in optimal condition. These two acquisitions follow the purchase of the Cueva del Camp del Obispo (Bishop's Cave) by the Sencelles Town Council, as this online publication recently reported. It is an important archaeological site within the municipality. The acquisition was for €36,000, financed by a grant from the Consell de Mallorca.
