Mallorca Marks the 100th Anniversary of Consell, Lloret de Vistalegre, Mancor de la Vall and Ses Salines as Independent Municipalities

In his speech, President Llorenç Galmés emphasized that “today Mallorca breathes history, pride and future, because we celebrate one hundred years since four communities, with prudence, determination and deep love for their people, chose to walk with their own voice.” He recalled that a century ago these municipalities did not seek privileges, but rather “the ability to govern with proximity, make decisions for their neighbours and build a future rooted in their identity.”

Galmés also expressed his gratitude to all the mayors who have served throughout these hundred years, highlighting that “being a mayor, especially in small towns, is not just a position; it is a vocation, a constant commitment and a way of staying close to the people, both in moments of joy and in times of difficulty.”

The ceremony concluded with the interpretation of La Balanguera, Mallorca’s anthem, performed by the Ses Salines Seniors’ Choir, the Centre Cívic Sa Colònia Choir and the Youth Choir of the Teatre Principal de Palma, followed by a community meal for all attendees.
