THE CARNIVAL

LA RUA

IN POLLENÇA THE RUA IS USUALLY HELD ON THE SATURDAY BEFORE ASH WEDNESDAY, THE DAY ON WHICH LENT STARTS, AND ON WHICH THE PINE TREE IS TAKEN DOWN THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ERECTED IN THE OLD SQUARE FOR SANT ANTONI.

On Saturday, Carnival is celebrated with parades, floats and a countless number of colourful costumes. The parade that goes through the towns’ streets starts in the gardens of Via Pollentia. At the end of the route, there is usually music for the children.
