It is one of the most anticipated of summer fiesta events in Majorca - the Moors and Christians battle in Pollensa. A re-enactment of what happened in May 1550, the Pollensa hero, the captain Joan Mas, led his white-clad Christians as he does each year. As ever, the action started on Friday evening with Joan Mas's appeal to the Mare de Déu dels Àngels and his confrontation with the Ottoman admiral, Dragut.
