The Gelats
Valls Saga
The last fortnight has been
full of emotion, nostalgia,
disbelief and downright
fury as the ice-cream stand
in Puerto Pollensa, run by
the local ice cream makers
Gelats Valls, has been under
threat. Originally brought to
uncertainty last year when
its neighbour, Café 1919,
contested it, the stand is now
under scrutiny once again.
The owners of 1919 would
clearly like to see the end of
the stand that sits right on
its doorstep - or take it on
themselves. The council are
under pressure to close it and
put the kiosk, which was built
and paid for by the company,
and open it for tender.
In response, not just Gelats
Valls but it seems the whole
of Pollensa, the north, and
returning fans of Puerto
Pollensa, were having none
of it. Taking, instead, to
social media and the power
of petitions to canvass the
council and make it clear that
Gelats Valls is here to stay.
Campaign
for Olivia
Indeed thousands of people
signed the online petition
and countless more signed
the papers at the company’s
various stands, shops and
collaborating shops.
Gelats Valls argue that there
is a 99-year lease, they have
requested copies of the
agreement “numerous times”,
but the council “has never
provided this document”.
At the time, in the absence
of other interested parties,
the council awarded the ice
cream kiosks in the frontline
in Puerto Pollensa and in
the square in Pollensa to the
founders of Gelats Valls with
full and complete justification
and legal compliance. Add
to this the fact that the
company paid the entire cost
of construction, installation
and connection of the kiosks,
it seems their claim is difficult
to argue.
Gelats Valls filed an
administrative appeal against
the decision last year. They
Five years after the little girl,
Olivia Encinas was abducted
by her mother, the family
still don’t know where she
is. Olivia was kidnapped and
taken illegally from Spain
in 2011. Her father, Alberto
Encinas Cuadrado is now
criticize the council for, instead
of answering their appeal, it
has chosen a new approach
that seeks the expiration of
the authorization granted in
the beginning and one that
directly involves the eviction of
the kiosk in Puerto Pollensa.
Finally, the popular support
proves that there is no
“general interest” to declare
the expiration of the
concession. Instead the stand
is; “part of the cultural and
culinary tradition and social
essence of Pollensa”. At the

new search for his daughter.
Last week, a party was held

€6,000 was raised.
time of print, the online
petition had more than 5,000
signatures. The story will
rumble on. Meanwhile, on
the other side of the kiosk,
Grand Cafe 1919 – the main
protagonist behind the Gelats
Valls saga – has been ordered
to reduce its terrace.
Last year, the council granted
authorization for 58 seats
and 20 more this season
were requested. The Pollensa
Council has already informed
them that only may obtain
authorization for 42 chairs.
Olivia was born in Pollensa
in 2008, she is the daughter
of Spaniard Alberto Encinas
Cuadrado and Hlond
Katarzina Agata of Poland.
At a court in Inca, the father
was given exclusive custody.

implementation of joint
preventive actions of the
town’s police services.
Tension between the local
police force and their boss,
the local council in Santa
Margalida, hit a new low over
the weekend when police
officers fined cars belonging
to officers of the Proteccion
Civil.
The plan is firstly, to unify
the criteria for action and
coordination in the police
activities in Búger and
Sa Pobla, using the same
protocols in relation to
minors.
It all came to a head after a
triathlon event, before which
the trouble really began.
The council had refused to
pay local police overtime
for their help during the
race; they in return refused
to cooperate. The council
called in volunteers from
the Proteccion Civil to
regulate traffic and assist in
the organization. As a thank
you, the council invited
the 20 volunteers to paella
next to the beach. Two of
their vehicles were parked
on a pedestrian section of
Hernán Cortés. On-duty
police officers then started
to fine the parked cars. The
volunteers approached the
officers to protest and in a
very tense atmosphere, the
fines were withdrawn but the
police ordered the drivers to
remove their cars.
This hiccup in relations is
just the latest in a history
of tension between Deputy
Mayor Joan Monjo and the
local force, whose leader Pere
Alomar has just returned to
work after months off. He,
he told local press, will be
working to fix relations.
Sa Pobla & Buger
Join Hands
The council leaders of Sa
Pobla and Buger met in
Sa Pobla last week to sign
an agreement that aims
to improve coordination,
information transfer and
Secondly, it will enable
collaboration and timely
transfer of information
between the two services in
cases of minors who present
some kind of problem or
social risk.
Thirdly, the new collaboration
will entail joint activities
concerning road education,
talks on prevention, or other
activities that require joined
forces and materials.
The new plan does not entail
any costs and the agreement
will run until the end of the
year when it will be renewed.
Either side can terminate the
agreement with one month’s
notice.
Vila Cortina,
Demolish or Not?
A judge has ruled that the
businessman Alfonso Cortina
cannot return to his villa in
Formentor and the decision
on whether or not the house
is demolished is still pending.
The Balearic High Court of
Justice (TSJB) considers that
the inability to use a holiday
home has a less negative
effect than the damage caused
by an illegal use of illegal
housing. This is why the court
has just rejected Cortina’s
appeal to the ban which was
issued due to the lack of
authorization certificate.
In December 2014, the TSJB
cancelled a building permit
T A L K
¡Hola!
that the City Council of
Pollença granted to Alfonso
Cortina in 2005 because of
the house’s “monumental
visual impact.” The judges
concluded that, despite
being urban land, Formentor
must be preserved and
that the building limited
the visual field and natural
beauty of the landscape.
The sentence concluded the
need to demolish the house
“if it is not now legalizable,”
prompting Cortina’s to hide
the villa under comprehensive
vegetation cover. This
proposal did not convince the
municipal technicians, who
not only reported against the
project, but also warned the
project did not correspond
with the license of 2005, it
was in fact bigger.
The final judgement will be
made based on the records
whether they house should
be demolished or not and to
what extent.
Anti-Corruption
Case of Ex-Mayor
Leopoldo de Miguel,
the lawyer who filed the
complaint to the to anticorruption court against
the former mayor Bartomeu
Cifre (Tots), will not be able
to appear in person in the
judicial case. The complaint
was for an alleged crime of
prevarication by the stoppage
of developments in Pollensa
(Formentor, Vila and Font,
etc.).
The judge has decided not
allow Leopoldo de Miguel
into the private prosecution
claiming he cannot be
considered injured or
offended by the facts judged
in the procedure, since it is
not his own land in any of the
developments that are being
investigated. The lawyer said
Wednesday it is preparing an
appeal against that decision.
Meanwhile the former mayor
announced to local press
that, “it is clear that it was
an orchestrated campaign
not to allow me to enter the
elections.” He criticized the
severity of the ethical code
that expelled him from the PP.
Cala’s Fight to
Become a Marine
Reserve
The Mayor of Pollensa,
Miquel Àngel March (Junts),
has stepped forward and
presented a motion to urge
the Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and Environment to
create a marine reserve in
Cala San Vincente. This
would cover a total area of
2.8km2, from the tip of Cavall
Bernat to Coves Blanques.
Neighbours of Cala San
Vincente are the driving force
behind the proposal and the
City Council has analyzed the
proposal since last November.
Representatives of neighbours
gathered at the end of last
year with the mayor and the
director general of Fisheries
Department, Joan Mercant,
to analyze the feasibility of
the project, however it is the
Ministry of Environment
which has the final say.
The Association of Residents
of Cala has a base document
that will help to develop the
technical proposal that will
go to the ministry. They have
the means to develop the
scientific part, but requires
the City Council to develop
the technical part.
The mayor said last week,
“We know it will not be easy,
that Madrid is not working
to create this type of reserve,
nor does it delegate powers
to the Autonomous Region to
continued on page 3
Lots of news this week, and a
lot of justifiably ‘disgruntleds’
getting in touch. We’ve received
calls and messages concerning
the access issue that has
seemingly been missed off the
list when work was carried out
in Puerto Pollensa. Also, a lot is
being said about the upcoming
sporting events taking up the
roads two weekends in a row.
I’m all for promoting Mallorca as
a sporting destination but I do
feel for one reader who wrote
in saying that they avoided an
arrival on the 7th because of
the Ironman only to find the
Mallorca 312 is on the day they
moved their holiday to. That’s
got to be some bad planning
on the authority’s behalf? All
details of the closures are on
the sports page.
Then of course there’s Gelats
Valls. Of course it will not be
closed... Or could it? Hopefully,
we’ll know by the next edition.

Seasonal Rentals, Mayors
Ready to Cooperate
Various mayors from across Mallorca have
laid plans to regulate holiday tourist rentals,
but while they are aware of the significant
income they represent for the population,
it seems they are not all willing to take on
new responsibilities at any cost. Some, like
the mayor of Sóller, Jaume Servera or Pedro
Rossello of Manacor, warn of shortages of
technical and economic means to take on the
new responsibilities when municipalities are
already struggling to meet current obligations.
One of the issues that most concerns mayors,
is to give freedom to the municipalities to
decide whether they want new touristic
homes sold in his term, in what areas and with
what intensity. They can generate significant
differences depending on the territorial
distribution. This could be of benefit to a few
owners and unfairness for the rest. Thus, the
mayor of Alcúdia, Antoni Mir, claimed this
issue should be agreed within the Federation
d’Entitats Locals of the Balearic Islands
(FELIB) in which all municipalities have a say.

Writing Competition
“My Village”
Back in February, we wrote about the English Writing
Competition in the local high schools. Pollensa and
Puerto Pollensa entered a full field of entries and there
was a smattering from Alcudia as well. Joanna Greenfield,
Charles Nutter and Alice La Plant were the judges and the
award ceremony took place on Wednesday 27th. Entries
ranged from entertaining to poetic, from positive to
negative with boredom a recurrent theme. (There clearly
needs to be more places for the teens to go to.) TOTN’s
favourite line was from Francisca Torrandell Sastre:
“Pollencins are friends in Sant Antoni and enemies in La
Patrona… Pollencins grow old and as we grow, the love
we have for our village grows old with us…it is my home
and it is where I find myself when I get lost.”
And the Winner is...
Aina Torrandell of IES Pollensa, 4th Year student.
On the northern shores
of the gorgeous island of
Mallorca there’s a precious
place where the water is
clearer and the sand is whiter.
Framed in tall rocks, Cala
Sant Vicenç is a paradise
playground of pines that give
the place its characteristic
touch.
The best thing about the
place anyway, is that you
can visit it anytime of the
year and you will enjoy it. In
summer the clear water of
the various shores will be like
heaven on earth because of
the high temperatures and in
winter the quietness of the
place plus the sound of the
waves breaking in the beach
will put your soul at ease.
Not far from Cala Sant
Vicenç, there is the real
village, Pollença. Maybe it
is not a paradisiacal place,
but it sure is awesome, with
its stone streets and magic
squares that during the
summer fill with people,
young and old, and many
activities. And in winter it
dies down a little and it leaves
us with the endearing image
of older citizens and families
who enjoy our beautiful
town.
if there is something more
sacred than ourselves for
the ones who live in this
beautiful spot that must be
the festivities, underscoring
Sant Antoni and la Patrona.
Sant Antoni is celebrated
on the 17th of January and
it lasts the whole day, from
morning when we bless
out pets with holy water,
to midday when we go to
Ternelles to get the big tall
pine a brave “hero” will climb
once evening has come. And
once someone has climbed it
there is even more party just
to celebrate this joyous day.
But Pollença is not a haven
of peace all year long because
But then there is La Patrona,
celebrated the 2nd of August
to commemorate that our
ancestors fought against
Dragut and his men and
won the battle. But this
festivity is more than that, it
is a feeling, it is the smile on
your face when you see Joan
Mas retrieve the Muslim flag
even though every year it
is the same, it is the feeling
of your heart swelling with
pride when in the middle
of the square you sing Visca
Pollença, it is the feeling
of brotherhood with your
neighbours.
And because of that Pollença
is so much more than a
village, it is a paradise, it is
heaven on earth.
Lastly, well done to Charles Nutter who raised €1,340 for children in care homes on the island so they could go and buy a
book of their choice on St Jordi’s day. The money was raised at the Book Lunch at Sin Embargo and Breakfast at the Art
Studio Portals. Well done to everyone involved, especially our pal Charles of English Radio Pollensa.

Time to be proactive
with your
financial affairs.
Son Vives in Banyalbufar was one of the first in the region to
bring back indigenous Mallorcan grapes in the late 1980s.
The bodega’s new facilities, located near the village of Estellencs,
have a capacity to produce 25,000l and were first put into
operation in September 2007.
Both the winemaking and care of the vineyard are done by
hand and its location between the sea and the mountains is
reflected in this very unadulterated style of wine.
The wine is aged in French oak, and is a blend of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Black Manto. The result is a dark
cherry red with an aroma of candied fruit, old leather, wax,
mineral and balsamic. The wine is unfiltered but
don’t let its hazy appearance bother you, it’s just
further evidence of a pure and natural reflection
of its vineyard. Enjoy with beef or roast lamb.
Our seminar covers key topics of current concern
for those living in or moving to Mallorca.

The Verb: Gustar
Spanish Lesson
There are several verbs in
Spanish (and in English)
that are used in the third
person. The most common
of this is GUSTAR (to be
pleasing to).
While in English we’d
say, “I like the cat”, (‘I’
being the subject and ‘the
cat’ being the object), in
Spanish you’d say literally
“The cat pleases me”. (‘The
cat’ now being the subject
and ‘I’ the object.)
The key to the verbs in this
section is to remember that
they nearly always operate
in their third person. The
thing being discussed has
an effect on people: Frogs
fascinate me; Noise bothers
you etc.
8
The lessons are compiled by Valeria Van Domselaar who is available for private Spanish and Catalan Classes.
Contact her on 682 622 898 or by email, [email protected].
To work with these verbs, you use the following recipe:
INDIRECT OBJECT + 3rd PERSON (SINGULAR or PLURAL) VERB + NOUN(S)
Singular Subject
Me gusta el gato
No te gusta el
libro
Le gusta la casa
No nos gusta el
perro
Os gusta la luz
Les gusta la
revista
I like the cat
You don’t like the
book
He likes the house
We don’t like the
dog
You like the light
They like the
magazine
When mentioning the
name of a person (or persons),
place the name (or pronoun)
between the preposition ‘A’
and the indirect pronoun. This
adds clarity and / or emphasis.
Plural Subject
Me gustan los gatos I like the cats
You don’t like the
No te gustan los

The Mallorquinista by Charles Nutter
Nervous Times
With seven games of the current season to play, Real Mallorca
are far from safe from relegation – just one point outside the
relegation places. After the additions that were made to the
squad in the winter transfer window the club has on paper
one of the strongest, albeit unbalanced, squads in the Spanish
Second Division. This group should be comfortably mid table
by now with thoughts turning to next season’s campaign.
Nerves have played a huge part and this is borne out by an
astonishing statistic – the team have not won in ten separate
games where they have taken the lead. They have gone on to
draw six and lose four of those games and this can only be
attributed to a lack of confidence in their ability to seize the
opportunity to put a match beyond the opponent’s reach.
If they had only seen out three or four of those games to
victories then the players could be looking at summer holiday
destinations rather than over their shoulders at the abyss. The
home fixture against high-flying Osasuna on 17th April was
a case in point. The team played attractive flowing football in
the first half and were well worth the lead given to them by
in-form striker Ortuño following a corner. They should have
been out of sight by half time with crosses from the wingers
constantly just out of reach of the strikers. Shortly after the
break Kasim was harshly adjudged to have committed a foul in
the penalty area and the visitors equalized from the spot. From
that moment the mind-set changed, passes were over hit and
the players’ anxieties were transmitted to the fans. Head coach
Fernando Vazquez must address this situation and ensure the
players remain calm and focused on maintaining the club’s
position in this league.
The imbalance in the squad was summed up by one Spanish
newspaper with the comment that Mallorca have six central
defenders (when fit) and a “thousand” wingers but only
three central midfielders, none of which fit into the creative
category. This situation needs to be resolved in the summer
months. One of those central defenders young German Tobias
played in the opening match of the season and has not been
since until he was named on the bench against Osasuna.
Vazquez has preferred to play fullbacks and midfield players in
defence rather than select Tobias who clearly does not have a
future on the island beyond this season.
Mallorca’s next game is at home to Alaves this Saturday 30th
April with an 8.15pm kick off followed by a visit to Albacete. A
couple of wins would ease the pressure and conversely defeats
would set the nerves jingling to breaking point.
Real Mallorca 1-1 Osasuna
A classic game of two halves. The team were comfortable and
assured in the first half and after conceding a penalty they
literally fell to pieces. The referee attracted a lot of criticism
from the home fans but this should not be allowed to deflect
attention from the root cause of the problem.
Lugo 2-1 Real Mallorca
A visit to mid table Lugo was an ideal opportunity for a
morale boosting victory but a sorry defeat meant the islanders
have gained just one point out of the last nine on offer. Lugo
took an early lead and Damia equalized with ten minutes left
in the game. A point would have been welcome but calamitous
defending in extra time gifted the home side a win, which in
truth, they deserved.
