The president of the Association of Former Blavets de Lluc, Llorenç Gelabert, and the island director of Serra de Tramuntana and mayor of Escorca, Antoni Solivellas, welcomed the president of the Consell de Mallorca upon his arrival. Afterwards, the president made a floral offering and attended the solemn mass for pilgrims, officiated by Mn. Marià Gastalver, prior of Lluc.

The Consell de Mallorca has allocated more than 67,500 euros, increasing last year’s contribution by 12,000 euros, to ‘make this tradition, so deeply rooted in the municipalities of our island, a reality’. More than 5,000 people from 45 municipalities on the island took part in the climb, organised by the Asociación de Antiguos Blavets de Lluc (Association of Old Blavets of Lluc).
