San Antoni 2025

[Lorenzo]

Here's the Facebook post from Pollensa Council regarding the preparations for San Antoni this year (2025).

Today, January 9 2025, the Pollença pine has been cut at the Ternelles estate that will be the star attraction in 2025.
The procedure is the same as for the Port of Pollença, so the selection of the tree had already been done before. The carving has also been axed and was done quickly and without complications. What will be the star pine of 2024 has fallen at 9.25am.
Then, with a lot of care and a few manoeuvres, the tree has been lowered with a tractor to the esplanade where the preparation works have begun: cut the branches, peel it and leave it ready for the 17th, just today that the big day is just over a week away. This year the Pine tree of Pollença measures about 20.5 metres.
Now yes, both in Pollença and the Port, everything is ready for Sant Antoni!

16-year-old conquers Pollensa's Sant Antoni pine

The pine finally arrived at twenty minutes past eight. It took Jaume Coll just twenty minutes to be the first to the top of the pine.

The climbing of the Ternelles pine in Pollensa is one of the most anticipated of all events for the Sant Antoni Fiestas. It has been known to go on for hours, but on Friday evening it took sixteen-year-old Jaume Coll just twenty minutes to reach the top and release the confetti. His effort followed two other serious attempts, one of them by a previous winner.


The pine climb, an event first documented in the 1870s but believed to be older, involves a great deal of ritual.
