MALLORCA TODAY - Cuts to Balearics Day celebrations

Events surrounding Balearics Day (1 March) have been scaled back by the Balearic Government. The budget will be 280,000 euros, which represents a saving of 55% over last year. The events are primarily organised in Palma. Despite the cuts, there will still be plenty happening, including a concert by leading Mallorcan singer Tomeu Penya on 1 March, which is a regional holiday and celebrates Balearics political autonomy.
