Yes, the H&S boys would have a field over here, although to be fair the police and a full ambulance crew followed the procession. It was our first and thoroughly enjoyed the experiance, we started at about 6pm Sat with a invite to a childrens party
, then on to the Refuge bar (just behind the church) a well built fire was lit about 8pm and plenty of fresh fish, meats were available(free) for us to cook against the fire plus copious amounts of vino, had a walk round the port and enjoyed all the other fires, some small, some bigger, left Refuge there mid-night and headed for Rustic Bar, once again plenty of food available, cooked our baked potatoes on the fire, then headed for the front were a live band was playing, then headed for El Moll were there was a DJ playing. Having got up at 0300 to catch a early morning flight, things were now catching up and we had to admit defeat and headed for bed, all the fireworks in the world couldn't keep me awake by this time. ( I believe the El Moll DJ finished at 0700 Sun, they then head for breakfast and catch the buses 0800 to go round to Formentor for more eats and see the tree leave for the port).
We surfaced at around 11.00 and headed for the roundabout were the tree had arrived, and was just starting it's (long) journey thru the streets to the square, great to witness it, all the local colour, noise, insanity, and those firecrackers! Earsplitting! The tree was eventualy erected and the "nutters" attemted to climb it, after a while this got a bit tiring and the people began to drift off, we ourselves drifted back to the Refuge bar were hot soup/ vino was on offer (free) and after a few hours went home.
As i said before i left "i would take it as it comes" this i did and had a great time, IMO it is not a tourist attraction, more a invite to a friends party.
And that was only the weekend, we still had the rest of the week to enjoy PP, the restaurants, weather etc, and this we duly well did.
