Moors and Christians return to Pollensa
By Majorca Daily Bulletin reporter

Cancelled in 2020 and 2021, the Moors and Christians battle in Pollensa returned on Tuesday evening. The climax to the Patrona fiestas, the re-enactment recalls the events of May 31, 1550, when Ottoman pirates, commanded by Dragut (Turgut Reis), carried out a raid that was repelled by the people of Pollensa, led by Joan Mas.

The battle starts with a plea for help from the Mare de Déu dels Àngels, Our Lady of the Angels, whose day it is today and who is Pollensa's patron.
