MALLORCA TODAY - Patrona party to go ahead

The threat to the night party of the first into the second of August during Pollensa's Patrona festivities has been lifted, but the party will be shortened and will end at 2.30am. The hope is that this will reduce costs and also limit any "botellón" street drinking party. Local town halls are to be asked to help in checking buses which leave for the party and to stop the bringing of alcohol.
