This initiative “vindicates the cultural, social and historical dimension<\/strong> of the rondalles” that were passed down “orally, from grandparents to grandchildren, from parents to children, from old to new generations, and which describe and reflect the reality of that rural, peasant Mallorca, which worked in the fields from sunrise to sunset, in very different conditions to those of today”, explains Javier Bonet, Palma’s first deputy mayor and councillor for Culture.<\/p>\n

The Diada de ses Rondalles is promoted by Palma City Council<\/strong> and organised by the Instituci\u00f3 Francesc de Borja Moll<\/strong> with the collaboration of the Consell de Mallorca<\/strong>, the Institut d’Estudis Bale\u00e0rics<\/strong> and the Consistory of Manacor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Historian Gaspar Valero will take us by the hand through two routes on rondalles and legends of Canamunt and Canavall, starting from Pla\u00e7a de Cort. There will also be music by Simfovents, drawing and graffiti workshops, stalls and stalls (except on Sunday afternoon), children’s games such as Ir\u00e0s i no tornar\u00e0s and RONdauLLES, and a concert by the group Pitxorines scheduled for 8 pm.<\/p>\n
