‘Pollencins’ and ‘pollencines’ are in the streets to experience the traditional Fiestas de la Patrona de Pollen\u00e7a 2023, with its big day on the 2nd of August. Then the popular battle of Moors and Christians is re-enacted and l’Alborada is held, marking the start of the tribute to the patron saint on that day<\/p>\n
The Fiestas de la Patrona de Pollen\u00e7a 2023, which take place between Saturday 22nd July and Wednesday 2nd August, are a tribute to the community, to the collective and inclusive feeling of the municipality, which strengthens its identity, and also forms part of the historical heritage of Pollen\u00e7a.<\/p>\n
To this end, the municipality brings together its inhabitants, as well as Mallorcans from all over the island, to experience a varied programme of cultural, sporting, leisure and traditional activities in a celebration that Pollen\u00e7a has been organising for over 100 years.<\/p>\n
The highlight of the Fiestas de la Patrona 2023 programme is on the 2nd of August with the re-enactment of the battle of the Moors and Christians.<\/p>\n
For yet another year, Pollen\u00e7a has already decided who will represent the main characters of this fiesta in 2023. In a crowded election, in which 32 ‘pollencins’ stood for election, Jaume Mercer was elected to represent Joan Mas. His rival, the Moorish king who will lead the Saracen invasion in the mock battle, will be Joan M. Segu\u00ed, accompanied by Bartomeu Llompart and Guillem Mascar\u00f3, as lieutenant and standard-bearer, respectively. The Ajuntament Vella will be represented by Joan Vanrell, Juan Llompart, Miquel Vanrell and Antoni Cifre.<\/p>\n
