PalmThe Pollença pine tree broke this evening during the traditional procession to the town center, an incident that generated moments of tension and uncertainty among those present. Despite arriving safely in the square, after a bumpy journey from Ternelles, the tree, which measured about 22 meters in height, suffered an initial break at the top. The crown, about two meters from the top, struck a wall as people pushed. About fifteen minutes later, the pine broke again with a very loud noise, this time about ten meters from the base, increasing the sense of alarm. Finally, only about ten meters of the trunk remained standing.
