This is confirmed by one of its members, Joan Llodrà Gayà, 52 years old: “We hope to be able to raise a good tower there to celebrate our thirtieth anniversary. We are among the first groups in the Balearic Islands. We were born in 1996, the same year as Castellers de Mallorca, from Palma. We have been rehearsing for months. Our highest construction has been a four of eight, that is, eight floors with four people on each floor. We have only been able to raise it three times in our history. We almost always do seven floors”.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>These past few days we've seen the Mallorca Council travel to the World Travel Market in London with demons to try and showcase our popular culture to the British market. But is it really necessary to folklorize our culture to attract tourists? And is it necessary to continue investing in tourism promotion when the Council itself promised it wouldn't?</p>]]></description>
