After all the months of reduced or non-existent fiesta-style activities, you won’t be able to move for them over the coming week, some of which may require some explanation. The pancaritats in Alcudia, Muro, Pollensa and Sa Pobla always follow Easter. Literally bread and charity, the day of charity - way back when - used to be Pentecost (Whitsun). Over the centuries, the day was moved until the first Sunday after Easter was finally settled upon towards the end of the seventeenth century. This was the Day of the Angel. Subsequently, these charitable days evolved into pilgrimages plus some feasting, which is basically what you have nowadays.
