I have to agree with Sparky, The charges are minimal in comparison with similar places in the UK. What I don't agree with is a different rate for locals and tourists.

I don't like the 2 tier pricing system either and really don't understand why they have done it

Good to see two more criminals have been taken off the streets of PP.
This was in the DDM, translated by Google Condenados a 7 años por asaltar a una anciana en su casa del Port de Pollença - Diario de Mallorca.
Sentenced to 7 years for assaulting an elderly woman in her home in Puerto Pollensa.
BP / XP PALMA Two men of 35 and 39 were each sentenced to seven years in prison each recognized guilty of assault after a 81-year old woman at his home in Port de Pollença, where they were introduced to steal morning. The woman awoke to hear noises in your home and the intruders handcuffed and threatened with a knife to give them the key to the safe, but she did not agree and could not open it. Finally they took all the valuables they could find, such as jewelry, watches, six blank checks and fifteen sobrasadas.
Yesterday was held in Palma Hearing the second day of the trial of Jose Francisco CG, 35, and Daniel Ernesto CP , 39, who were accused of a wave of robberies between 9 and 11 March 2011, although they only acknowledged his authorship of two of them, the assault on the house of the old woman and an attempted robbery in another address of the building. They finally reached an agreement with the prosecutor and accepted his guilt in these two crimes, so they imposed a sentence of six years and eleven months to the first seven years and eight months for the second, also convicted for filling and try charging two of the stolen checks.
The most serious offense was the assault on the home of a woman of 81 years, which came on the morning of March 11, 2011. The inhabitant was awakened by noises and robbers handcuffed and threatened with a knife to hand them the key to the safe, but she refused. The thieves took several gold jewelry, two watches, 450 euros in cash and fifteen sobrasadas.

Article from the Diario de Mallorca.
Enfermeras sobre dos ruedas - Diario de Mallorca.
The medical staff of the primary care unit of Port de Pollença makes house calls by bicycle to save on gas costs of their private vehicles.
Joan Frau. pollença The bloody economic crisis that we are living today has returned to situations that bring us back to times seemed overwhelmed. They are stories about economic hardship, but also imaginative solutions to mitigate the effects of the recession. One of these scenes that seem recovered from the past occurs daily in the Port de Pollença, where it is common to see a nurse clutching the handlebars of the bicycle-ambulance used to navigate to addresses where you have to perform cures to patients Basic Health Unit of the coastal village.
The reason why this health professional decided, last summer, bring your own bike work for use on the move is to save the cost of gasoline would have to assume that if, as did before, you could remove your private car. "Before, we paid 85 euros twice a year to offset the costs of gasoline, but this aid has gone now," says health 'poblera' Margalida Perelló Sastre, with 37 years of service on their backs, seven of them in the health center of Port de Pollença. The removal of this supplement is added to the two wage reductions nurses who have had since they started to apply economic cuts. "In addition, nobody pays me wear suffered by the car every time I have to use it at work," he adds before remembering that "politicians, when they work, they move in official cars."
Residents of Port de Pollença and have come to see the nurse Margalida strolling through the coastal village on his bicycle. At first I was amused and encouraged her to continue.
A small basket on the front of the vehicle, with the word 'nurse' and the red cross symbol that identifies the health, serves to transport the equipment necessary to perform the cures the sick who visits almost daily. "Sometimes I play three or four departures every day, and it's easy to get around by bike than by car," he says.
course, when visiting home is located a considerable distance from the health center, as the port Pollença is characterized by the existence of different dispersed and remote developments including housing calls for the go look. The same happens in the rainy days. What is clear is that not going to use your car more particularly, tired of paying out of pocket services which, in his view, should cover the Govern. "From the Department do not even know we exist, I have clear that my work is for patients, not politicians, I have to sleep with my own conscience, not yours, and I'm tired of being cut and mistreat me "he says.
No means
the health staff of the Port de Pollença UBS, like the rest of the small health centers of the island begins to get used to perform the job with an obvious lack of material and human resources. Not a day passes without missing a necessary element for the center daily. Yesterday was the bandages.
deficits are covered and can sometimes buying the material with his own money. Sometimes users are the same center who lend a hand. In fact, leading lights Margalida biking are a gift from a patient of his.
Besides saving on gas and not wearing his car, the bike serves the nurse herself get in shape and at the same time, "promote healthy habits among patients."
Whether to use the bicycle-ambulance also hides a point of personal vindication, as an indirect towards health policy makers. "If I'm on the bike longer to reach home, I expect," he says. Your example already has imitators. In Pollença, UBS staff also began using bicycles.

From Aston Villa website:
"Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton, subject to a medical tomorrow, will move on loan to Real Mallorca to the end of the season, with the Spanish club retaining an option to agree a permanent transfer in the summer."
Sound move! away from the stress and ignominy of a relegation scrap and a few months, and possibly more, in Mallorca.
There is no truth in the rumour his agent is called Thomas Cook.

Swaps one relegation scrap for another, Mallorca currently well placed for the drop. By all accounts, Villa fans won't be sad to see him go. Another triumph of recruitment by Mallorca then.

This may be of interest to the boating fraternity as well as bathers.
Google translation of the UH article El Ajuntament de Pollença pide permiso a Costas para crear amarres en los pantalanes del Moll » Part Forana » Noticias » Ultima Hora Mallorca.
The City Council of Pollença Costas asks permission to create moorings on the pontoons of Moll.

The local governing board recently agreed to hire a private firm to draft the "project to manage the extensions of the springs with 60 berths each" for a total of 5,800 euros plus VAT. Once you have the relevant project the City Council may formally request process operating at the Coastal with the idea of having the mooring area next summer.
The City Council aims to bring order and in the bathroom area between Port roundabout and the military zone where anchored outside the rules each summer hundreds of boats. In fact in recent years Costas and City Council have collaborated in several recall campaigns illegal anchoring cement and concrete bathing areas.

Lamb of Pollença could lose its certification of quality due to a rule change introduced by the central government a year ago and increased from 5,000 to 15,000 sheep won the minimum necessary to qualify for this type of recognition.
The lamb producers association has managed to increase its production from 6,500 to 9,000 sheep but sees "unworkable" that this could grow to 15,000 head. "When from Madrid make a rule change only think of large tracts of land, 15,000 sheep have ask us here in Pollença controlled and there are not," says the president of the union Pollença, Solivellas Martí, which states that "to insist the Department to urge the central government to change the royal decree introducing an exception and Canary Islands because they must know the reality on the ground.

Partial pedestrianisation of the sea front is back on the agenda. This from the DDM and translated by Google, La primera línea del Port será semipeatonal y permitirá un único sentido de circulación - Diario de Mallorca :-
The first line of the Port will semipedestrian and allow one-way traffic.
Assignment of the road
The municipal project is still in the initial study phase and depends on external factors such as the assignment required the municipality of Pollença road, owned by the Consell de Mallorca.
Encrypt Mayor states that still have to negotiate the reception route to the island institution and that the Consistory should be aware that the road is in good condition, without requiring additional investment, before accepting an assignment.
Subsequently, the City should seek funding to carry out the pedestrianization works, still undefined budget. The Hall has already started the round of contacts with various entities of Moll, including hotel association to explain municipal intentions. Also, the mayor plans to exhibit soon the project to different political parties to gauge their opinion. In any case, the semipeatonalización not be a reality by the summer of next year 2014.
Nearly four years after the last experience pedestrianization held in the Port de Pollença, which was not very satisfactory as it only lasted seven months, the council 'pollencí' now wants to get a similar formula, although not as radical as first, consisting of the first line semipeatonalizar between the roundabout in front of the marina and the urbanization of Llenaire. Unlike the first project, in this case, allow the passage of vehicles, but in one direction of movement that will surely be in the direction of the harbor entrance. Ie from Alcúdia vehicles may travel on the first line, but not vice versa.
Mayor Pollença, Tomeu Encrypt (PP), confirmed yesterday semipeatonalización intentions. In fact, the document that sets the roadmap governing pact between PP and Lliga has been delivered this week to the different parties represented municipal listed as one of the priorities of the legislature conducting a study of feasibility to convert the first line of Moll in an area for pedestrians.
The project studying the City would stay halfway full pedestrianization, but will be an "ambitious actions" in the words of Encrypt. The idea is to make room for pedestrians in the first line of Moll, widening sidewalks and street furniture refurbishing, one of the major tourist areas of Mallorca.

And here is another item related to it, Los ´molleros´ apoyan la iniciativa, según una encuesta - Diario de Mallorca:-
The 'molleros' support the initiative, according to a survey.
A survey by Unió Mollera Pollencina (UMP), training with a representative on the City Council, notes that most residents and businesses of Port de Pollença which have been consulted semipeatonalización supported the draft. In total, the party divided the Moll 73 surveys, of which 48 were completed. Most respondents to the survey, a total of 36, would agree with the initiative, while twelve would be against.
addition, of the 36 who pass the semipeatonalización, 34 believe that the best sense of movement is the input the town, as the City plans, while the other two would bet on the direction of exit. A majority of respondents (22-14) also believe it necessary to build new car parks to encourage people to wander on foot through the coastal village and empowerment of a bicycle lane on the seafront (30-6).
Some suggestions made by respondents point to the need to install benches that look out to sea and not on the road, as at present, to limit the passage of heavy vehicles on the first line and slow circulation to twenty kilometers per hour. Others opt for a stretch enable entirely pedestrian.
Some who voted against the semipeatonalización justify its decision in the loss of customers that, in his view, the trade will suffer Moll, plus it will require constant cleaning and landscaping to maintain good ride conditions.
