The Consell de Mallorca delivers 5,000 T-shirts and 5,000 backpacks for the participants of the march to Lluc a Peu 2024

The second vice-president and councillor for the Environment, Rural Affairs and Sports, Pedro Bestard, was in charge of handing over the T-shirts to the president of Grup Güell, Francisco Bauzá, in a symbolic act that took place in the monastery of Lluc, the arrival point of the popular walk that every year brings together thousands of people. The island’s Director of Sports, Toni Prats, and the Prior of the Monastery of Lluc, Mariá Gastalver, also took part in the ceremony.

These 5,000 garments will be added to another 5,000 backpacks that will also be distributed among those attending the historic walk, to unify the clothing of the pilgrims and encourage them on their journey.

Pedro Bestard said that “With this initiative, we want to show the support of the Consell de Mallorca and visualise our collaboration with one of the most eagerly awaited events of the summer, which has become a Mallorcan tradition”.

“The walk to the monastery of Lluc has established itself as an event of physical and cultural endurance on our island, and we wanted to join the 50th anniversary of the March so that participants attending this year’s edition wear our t-shirts”.

The Marxa des Güell a Lluc a Peu 2024 will start at 11 pm on Saturday the 3rd of August, from the Plaça del Güell in Palma. After covering 48 kilometres, it will culminate at the monastery of Lluc, located in the Tramuntana mountain range
