Feel the anticipation of the local Voting with your property in Pollensa

Usually two Fridays before the day of la Patrona there are peculiar elections that take place. They are held to decide who will represent Joan Mas, Dragut and the other characters of the simulation. The main stars are Joan Mas and Dragut. Joan Mas is chosen on an individual basis and Dragut is chosen in a group casting alongside Lloctinent, who is the one who first finds Joan Mas on the main road and initiates the battle; and Abanderat, who carries the pirates banner. For the side of the Christians there is a group called Ajuntament Vella consisting of four men which is to be elected. All of these characters meet on the 2nd of August on the main road. On one side you will find all of the moors armed with wooden swords and on the other the Christians, with long wooden stick and farm tools and riffles.

The voting is open to all those who are registered citizens of Pollensa and who are over the age of 16.

On the 26th of July when midday arrives, the canons shoot off in to the sky which represents the start of the celebrations in all its glory. In that moment la Patrona commences, it is the moment in which the banner is lowered from the Pollensa Town Hall and a large canvas with the Pollensa crest is unfurled. Buying a house in Pollensa is one of the best options during these dates. You can begin to feel the gunpowder at Monti-Sion and sense the emotion day after day with the programme of la Patrona.

 

La Patrona, an event filled with white and colours

Since the year 1860, the inhabitants of Pollensa have maintained a yearly celebration. Every year on August 2nd the day of la Patrona is celebrated with a simulation of the battle which tells the story of the 30th of July 1550. One of the most interesting things that characterises this day is the way in which the main stars are dressed. On one side you have those who represent the Christians, which is the majority of the town, who dress in white. The white outfits represent the clothes worn by the Christians during the battle, as the invasion happened in the middle of the night and the Pollensans were still in their nightwear, which in those times was white. The representatives of the Moors, are dressed in different colours, it is a clear way to differentiate themselves from the Christians, given that they didn’t have select battle clothes. Buy a property in Pollensa with Pollentia Properties and you will be able to enjoy every colour of this celebration.
