MALLORCA TODAY - Pollensa's Corpus Christi tradition

Pollensa is the town in Mallorca that has done more than other towns to maintain a tradition of dress and jewellery worn by girls of the town chosen as "las Àguiles" (eagles) who take part in the annual Corpus Christi procession. The jewels are looked after by the Colonya bank in the town and kept under conditions of high security. During the procession, the girls are joined by a local boy who represents Sant Joan Pelós, and it took place on Sunday.
