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.

MALLORCA TODAY - Pollensa Patrona party under threat

The night party of 1 August into 2 August during the Patrona fiestas in Pollensa may not happen. The town hall is considering dropping the party on account of its cost and the problems it brings (excessive drinking, for instance). The party usually comprises rock and other bands playing on stages in different squares in the town.
