CARNIVAL 2011 - Alcúdia and Pollensa

Alcúdia will be staging what is called an "explosion of colour" over the weekend of 5-6 March, with food, parades and satire (masks to depict politicians and other public figures and celebrities).

In Pollensa, the "Rua" parade (which will be on the Saturday, 5 March, from around 17:00) is open to anyone, children included, who fancies winning prizes of up to 500 euros.

In Puerto Pollensa, its own "Rua" takes place on Thursday, 3 March, gathering in front of the hotel Daina at 16.30 with a route along Joan XI, Calle Elcano, back down on to the front and then along the Paseo Anglada Camarasa.
