The Pollensa (Pollença) Festival regularly delivers top class classical music to this delightful small town in the northeast of Mallorca. Performances are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays in the atmospheric surroundings of the historic cloister Santo Domingo, where appropriate dress is required. In the event of bad weather, concerts are transferred to an indoor venue.
Mallorca (Majorca) has been a top tourism destination since the 1950s. The lovely Mediterranean climate provides mild weather year-round, with July and August as the hottest months reaching high 20s during the day and low 20s at night (that’s mid 70s to low 80s for our Fahrenheit friends over at online casino usa). You probably won’t need any rain gear, either.
Pollença (Pollensa) is at the very northernmost top of the island, a medieval town of around 15,000 permanent residents (and often several times that number of tourists, though the past year or so has understandably seen fewer than before). The town encircles the Plaça Major, with its 13th Century church, near (but not adjacent to) the Cloisters of Santo Domingo.
Catalan is the major language of Majorca, though you’ll be hard pressed to find a native who doesn’t also speak Spanish…and many have a fair amount of English as well.
Pollensa has so much to offer besides the Festival; if you’re a hiker or biker, the surroundings are uniquely beautiful; if you’re a beach-goer or diver, the waters and beaches are some of the best in the Mediterranean. Gamblers can connect to online slots any time they like, and history buffs and sophisticates alike will appreciate the island’s many accommodations and historic architecture.
The summer months also provide a nearly non-stop series of events, a number of of are concurrent with the Festival. Don’t miss the Christians vs. the Moors at the beginning of August as part of the Fiesta de la Patrona de Pollenca!
