A few days before the dates of Sa Rua 2021 in Mallorca arrive, the question is whether the carnivals will be held. From the Palma City Council, they assure that they have nothing planned for Sa Rua and Sa Rueta in 2021 in the capital. The reason, the data that the pandemic throws. However, in November they announced that Sa Rua 2021 in Palma would be canceled. Not so Sa Rueta, the celebration for the little ones, which was in the air.
The councilor for Citizen Participation and Interior Government of Cort, Alberto Jarabo, already indicated that the City Council’s budgets did not include the celebration of carnivals in Palma. Therefore, like the Sant Sebastià festivities, Sa Rua and Sa Rueta will go unnoticed on the calendar.
