Gotmar: Job Done
Councillors from Pollensa visited Gotmar this week to see the completed reform as the third phase is about to conclude. The first two phases took place in the last two political legislatures, meaning the whole process of reform in this urbanization has been overseen by three different legislatures.
July 22nd, will bring you “all the madness with new artists, new areas and a lot of amazing people!” More detail in the What’s On pages.
This third phase included all underground infrastructure (lighting and sewerage), new pavements, the asphalting of streets and new LED streetlights. The finishing touches – the beautification of green areas – will take place in the autumn. With a cost of €843,800, the total investment in Gotmar is almost €2.5m.

Local News New Social Welfare Office Pollensa’s new Social Welfare office, that was handed to the council by the Colonya Caixa Savings Bank, held its official opening last week. Located on Calle Cecili Metel, Colonya transferred the property to the council so that it could carry out activities in the area for children and young people as well as groups at risk of social exclusion. Although it was officially inaugurated on Thursday, the premises, which offer 75sqm of space, has been providing a service since the beginning of the year. It will also be available for conferences, course and workshops held by the council. At the opening, the mayor, Miquel Àngel March, told attendees of his satisfaction with the local activity since its opening and thanked Colonya for the transfer of the space that will contribute to improving and increasing social services in Pollensa.
Blue Flags in the North Alcudiamar, the port of Alcúdia, hoisted its 21st consecutive blue flag this week in front of town officials, Mayor Antoni Mir and CEO of Alcudiamar, Bartomeu Bestard. Puerto Pollensa was awarded three of the possible four, with work already underway for Tamarells to recover it. The blue flag is a public recognition that rewards the effort and work done in maintaining a high standard on the beach and quality of the swimming water. It acknowledges environmental management as well as a high service of cleaning and
security for people using the beach. This season alone has seen new accessibility projects launched, new bathrooms, improved cleaning services and more improvement on beaches across the north.
Santa Margalida Factory Opposition party in Santa Margalida, Suma has criticized the “improvization” of the Town Hall in Santa Margalida concerning the old Can Feliciano factory, which is widely known to be in danger of falling into a state of ruin. In January this year, the mayor called a meeting where he indicated that there were complaints from neighbours about the state of the factory and that an execution order would be drafted to clean it. Suma say however, that, “It was not until a fire broke out on May 21, which was fortunately quickly extinguished, that the Government agreed to an execution order to clean the lot the next day... That is to say, if it had not caught fire we would still wait. This is an order that is already late and clearly motivated by the fire that could have been avoided.” Further, as the site needs continuous maintenance to avoid further deterioration, Suma stated that “We would like the mayor to take steps to acquire the old factory and devote it to social uses.”
Plenary in Pollensa The town council of Pollensa held an extraordinary meeting last week with the sole objective of approving a list of extrajudicial invoices
for work carried out during previous years, including the last legislature. The receipts were not approved in the last plenary by a vote against from the parties on the right. The councillor for Tourism, Trade, Fairs and Markets, Iliana Capllonch (PSOE), formalized her resignation at the meeting, a decision made due to “personal reasons.” The outgoing councillor thanked her colleagues for their “support and collaboration”. She is replaced by Bernat López (PSOE).
Sa Bassa Blanca to be Nominated The Museum of Sa Bassa Blanca in Alcudia, featured in TOTN some weeks ago, is to be nominated for the regional tourism awards: Premis de Turisme de les Illes Balears. The nomination was unanimously approved for the Premis de Turisme category and the Tourist Experience category. We told you it was a good day out!
‘Centers Oberts’ a Success A total of 239 students participated during the last school year in the programme ‘Centers oberts a Pollença’, which began four years ago with the aim of boosting school spaces outside of school hours. In Pollensa, the initiative was carried out in CEIP Joan Mas, where an average of 25 young people per day took part, while in the Port, CEIP Miquel Capllonch was used with an average participation of 60 young people.
New Street lights in Pollensa Pollensa Townhall is carrying out the renovation project of high efficiency public lighting. The work, which the council say is progressing at a good pace, are financed with a subsidy of nearly half a million euros from the Department of Cooperation of the Consell de Mallorca. The work involves removing old an obsolete material and replacing it with LED lights in different urbanizations throughout the town.
Formentor Parking High season is upon us which means the beaches are getting more and more packed. At Formentor this means more problems than just finding your square metre of sand. Parking. It is available but it comes at a cost. At €2.40 per hour, this is nothing compared with Gatwick Airport but here in Mallorca, where access to the beach is a legal right, it’s a bit steep. For a full day, or over 5 hours, the charge is €12 and it’s making people very cross. What do you think?
Demolition Doom The Territorial Defense Agency has reported the demolition of a chalet in Pollensa that was built without a license in a rustic area of maximum protection. It’s not the first this year and perhaps not the last. After years of illegality, they mean business and are clamping down.

¡Hola! Is it just me or do a lot of people seem to win at the lottery here in the north of Mallorca? Just the other week someone scooped up a prize in Pollensa, now someone in Alcudia. Off to the shops I go... Hasta luego! Joanna p.s. If you haven’t already, do take a peek at the new TOTN Website and let me know what you think.

charged of irregular charging. The municipality of Santa Margalida has opened a file against the company that runs the beds and brollies on the beach of Son Bauló (Can Picafort) because of irregular charges denounced last Saturday by the coalition Suma pel Canvi, who, following the warning of a tourist entrepreneur, revealed that the company charged 0.50 euros more than was stipulated in the municipal contract. The company could be fined €450 and obliged to return the irregular charges to customers who request it. On the other Suma argue that the fine is not enough, that not many holiday-makers will bother to apply for their 50c refund and that instead the amount overcharged should be tallied up and put to public use.
Accessibility in Alcudia Alcudia is to invest €50,000 euros in various projects to remove architectural barriers and improve universal accessibility in public spaces in the Old Town, the town centre of Puerto Alcudia, as well as the beaches and public buildings. The plan, that fits in the framework of the tourism programme ‘Alcúdia per a tots’, aims to promote the municipality as a destination for people with mobility problems. Councillor Jean Gaspard Vallori told press that the tourism project has already led to training days in which 70 people took part. He also took the opportunity to present the App that acts as a tourist guide is also available for deaf and blind people and is available in six languages. Pere Muñoz, director of the Balearic Islands Tourism Agency, said that Alcudia’s
O F
initiative is “pioneering” in terms of accessibility and pointed out that the removal of barriers should be seen as an “investment”.
Tension in Muro The council of Muro has launched a process for citizens to denounce cases of illegal rent in the coastal area of Casetes de Capellans. Mayor Marti Fornes presented the idea at the council meeting that citizens who know of irregular renting in the neighbourhood can use the Linia Verda platform, which is widely used on the island as a form of communication between Councils and citizens. When the council is made aware of such cases, action will be taken and, Fornés said, the Council will “open files” on the owners of the any bungalow involved in the irregularities and will consider the possibility of withdrawing the entitlement. The Capellans issue was one of the most debated in the plenary meeting, along with another controversial issue – the Escoleta in the public building. Tension was so high, that the mayor expelled Miquel Àngel Tortell of the Més per Muro party. Using their Facebook page the next day, Mes per Muro accused the mayor of being “incapable” of directing the plenary sessions and of having a “special resentment” towards the Més councillors whom he “attacks with personal questions” and “does not respond to questions”. The coalition claims that Tortell was expelled with the “excuse” that he spoke when he shouldn’t have, a common practice in plenary.

Fire in Alcudia On Monday afternoon, firefighters were called to a fire in Alcúdia quickly stabilized the situation. The Ibanat reported the incident via its Twitter account that around 4pm a fire was recorded in an agricultural area of the town. Putting out the fire meant coordinating no fewer than two airplanes, a helicopter, two fire engines and two firefighting teams. The fire hit a shrub area, but was quickly controlled and didn’t spread.
Alcudia Lottery Win The first prize of the National Lottery last weekend fell into the hands of one lucky ticket holder in Alcúdia. S/he won a whopping €1,000,000 after buying the ticket in Paseo de la Victoria, 6.
Robber Busted in Alcudia A man arrested last week is a suspected burglar of no less than 50 robberies in houses located along the beach in Puerto Alcudia intended for holiday rental. The victims of all these robberies were foreign tourists, who when they committed were outside the house. The Guardia Civil caught the crook after placing a surveillance device in the area, and then located where he stored the stolen material. The arrest uncovered a multitude of audio and visual equipment, phones, sunglasses, branded clothing, televisions, watches, jewellery, which are being returned to their legitimate owners, most of them foreigners.

For the pastry:
For the Trampo:
500g plain white flour ½ cup of lard ½ cup of olive oil generous pinch of salt ¾ cup water large pinch of fresh yeast
One white onion One large tomato One Mallorcan green pepper Generous glug of olive oil Seasoning
Method Heat the oven to 180°C. Place flour into a large bowl and add the lard, oil and salt. Mix the yeast into the water then pour into the bowl squeezing the mixture together with your hands breaking down the lumps as you come across them. Keep mixing with your hands until the mixture comes together. Once formed knead for a while until the pastry becomes smooth in texture and slightly springy and the yeast is working its magic. Cover and put to one side while you make the trampo. To make the topping dice the onion, tomato and green pepper and mix together in the bowl. Pour over the oil and season with salt. To put the coca together, take your gently oiled oven tray and push the dough flat and
to the sides of the pan, you don’t need a rolling pin. Keep working the dough around the tray until it is about half a centimetre thick and the tray is covered. Prick with a fork. The base is ready for the trampo. Pour it over, leaving an edge of about half a centimetre all the way around. Chuck it in the oven and leave it until the trampo is cooked and the edges are browned. About 30-40 minutes. Enjoy hot straight from the oven or it can keep for a day or so.

Manzanilla Albamonte The best value wine around at €2.75 a bottle, this is an absolute bargain that’s quality is worth closer to €8 or €9. Desperately unfashionable though; for many years not even your Nan would want to drink a dry fino. Times have changed and the hipsters are catching on, but there is still lots sloshing around the market to keep the price low. This is made for Eroski by the brilliant Bodega Hidalgo, who for many years has made the excellent fino ‘La Gitana’. This isn’t a style of wine that appeals to all, but with a bowl full of almonds and chilled glass in hand, you may find the bottle disappears rather quickly.
Terrae Bistro Bar Of all the new restaurants in Puerto Pollensa this season, one stood out in particular, Terrae Bistro Bar. Terrae, meaning earth in latin, is an apt name. The chefs here are inspired by what the earth offers, always following the season and the local produce. From the beginning the message was clear, this was to be a restaurant all about sustainable and 0km food. We went for the tasting menu of seven dishes. All were beautifully and unusually plated, all were local. For example the local mackerel (smaller than the generic mackerel we are used to but just as tasty) was served with leeks and their flowers, in the starter mezze were red chard croquettes, a salad with miniature pears from a local finca. With the fragility of these ingredients and the care the chef went to, it’s clear that these products had not travelled far. The chef knows his ingredients and flavours, shown in the plate of grilled cauliflower with poached egg served with beer yeast, the combination was superb. Interesting ingredients, linseeds and chia seeds, the stripped back menus, one ingredient only, all combined to make this a great meal. The trio behind Terrae met while they were working in
N O R T H
Norway and they are now putting the skills they picked up there to good use. Their menu will change with the seasons so we can expect more outstanding cooking and different flavour combinations. They’ve only been open 6 weeks but Terrae is already full every night. If you haven’t been yet, book your table ASAP. www.facebook.com/tterrae 693467440 - 871504042

Terrae is great if you are vegetarian, there is a complete meat-free menu option as well. Likewise, if you are not drinking, the non-alcoholic drinks are a delight. This strawberry frappe was awesome.

Pollensa: Tat Tvam Asi by Marta Moriarty
A Sanskrit phrase meaning ‘Thou art that’ or You are That, Tat Tvam Asi is one of the four Mahavakias or great truths of Hinduism. Moriarty has worked in art all her life but as a critic and gallery owner. Having studied religion throughout her career, she now brings them together in her first ever art exhibition. Claustre, from 15th July to 8th October
Specsavers Opticas have announced their support of the Once Foundation for the Deaf-Blind (La Fundación ONCE para la Atención de Personas con Sordoceguera - FOAPS) over the next six months. They will be offering free comprehensive eye tests at all eight of their opticians and asking patients to donate €1 to FOAPS after their test until the end of the year. All funds raised will be donated to FOAPS to fund interpreters who are crucial to allow deaf-blind people to lead a full life and communicate. This is part of FOAPS’ 10-year anniversary campaign to raise awareness of the issues that deaf-blind people face and boost funding so they can help more of these vulnerable people who are totally isolated without their help.

the world through touch and need someone to connect them with the world.” explains José Ángel MoralTajadura from Specsavers Opticas. “The FOAPS interpreters are the eyes, ears and often voice of the deaf-blind and have a crucial role to play. We hope that through our campaign we can raise enough money to fund an extra 400 hours of an interpreter. This costs 6,000€ so we need 6,000 people to come in and have their eyes tested and make a donation before the end of the year.” To participate in the campaign, visit the store in Santa Ponça for a comprehensive eye test and donate just 1€ between July and December 2017.

Sa Pobla’s Obstacle Race It’s too hot for a tough mudder surely? Well that’s
lucky because Brutal Running seems a lot more light hearted and fun, more bouncy castle than electric shocks. So if you fancy giving it a go, Sa Pobla’s Brutal Running is on 22nd July at 7pm at the Sports Centre. You just need a team of four and a costume, be a little bit fit and up for it. It’s just 5km, two laps of the course, and drinks will be provided once you’ve finished. Judging by the youtube video (shared on TOTNMallorca.com), it looks like a lot of fun!
Season Ticket Campaign A little cross sport marketing just occurred. RCD Mallorca has called upon two world-class (one Olympic Champion, in fact) paddle athletes from the island. “Enguany, toca remar” (this year I’m going to paddle), is a youtube video showing a race at Lake Esperanza in Alcúdia between the Canoe Sprint athletes Sete Benavides (4th place in the Men’s C1 200m in Rio) and Marcus Cooper Walz (Gold Medallist in the Men’s K1 1,000m in Rio). It is a promotion to launch the season ticket campaign for Real Mallorca in the 2017-18
season. The clip sees the two paddlers take to the water, no words are spoken they just race towards the horizon. It’s a reference to how the Balearic team should advance without stopping, straight back up to the second league. Launching the campaign, RCD Mallorca announced that the season tickets are among the cheapest in the league. Check out the video on the TOTN blog at www.TOTNMallorca.com/ editorial.

The Mallorquinista Revolving Door
by Charles Nutter
The revolving door at Real Mallorca following relegation to Segundo B is going into overdrive. Chief executive Maheta Molango announced last week that twelve of the backroom staff at the club have been made redundant. Two former players Jose Leon and Cesar Mota have 30 years of service between them but they were not spared the axe. This drew huge criticism from the local sports press who share the fans view that Molango is largely responsible for the club’s predicament and he is now acting as the hatchet man. A number of the medical staff has also been dispensed with and there are stories that many of the remaining staff has been offered an alternative of accepting a much-reduced salary or face redundancy. Goalkeeping coach Miki Garro has left of his own accord to seek a position at another club. The players whose contracts have been rescinded are finding teams to link up with. Fans favourite Juan Culio has rejoined Rumanian club Cluj who he played for between 2007 and 2011. Captain Hector Yuste is off to Cyprus to play for Apollon and Alex Vallejo will ply his trade with Cordoba. Young Mallorcan born fullback Juanjo Nieto was very distraught to leave indicating that he would have accepted a vastly reduced salary to stay. Brandon Thomas is on the verge of signing for French club Rennes in exchange for a €3m fee which will bring some much needed funds into the coffers. In further news there is no sign of a new president being appointed to replace Monti Galmes. The local press pointedly asked who would want to sit next to Molango in the directors box. The stadium will no longer be known as the Iberostar Stadium as the hotel chain have withdrawn their sponsorship and it will now revert to its original name of The Son Moix Stadium.
The open side of the ground and the south end will not be available to spectators to reduce match day costs. New head coach Vicente Moreno has added Argentinian Dani Pendin as his assistant and Daniel Pastor as physical coach. All three worked together previously at Xerex. He is already shaping his side for the coming season and has added Manolo Reina (32) as his goalkeeper and the two were together at Nastic de Taragona. He has gone for players who have all had extensive experience in Segundo B and this is probably a smart move. Veteran centre-half Xisco Campos (35) and born in Binissalem was delighted to join. Right back Francesco Grima (30), Miguel Nunez (30) a utility defender, Jony Niguez (32) central midfield and left back Javier Bonilla (26) have been the latest incoming players. Abdon Prats who was born in Arta will spearhead the attack having scored nearly 50 goals in the league that Mallorca will find themselves in. There will be many more incoming players before the season starts and Prats could be a very astute and influential signing.
