Walk up to the Lluc Sanctuary

In the early hours of September 9 to 10, once more the walk up to the Lluc Sanctuary from the outer villages "Pujada a Lluc a Peu de la Part Forana", organised by the "Associació d'Antics Blavets de Lluc" will take place. This year, the event commemorates the XXI anniversary, coinciding with the jubilee year and as usual a large participation is expected from all the towns of Mallorca. Thousands of pilgrims will attend, faithfully, to this annual appointment, which combines religion, culture, tradition, nature and sport.

The "Pujada a Lluc a Peu de la Part Forana" is a collective manifestation with very special significance for Mallorcans, people with their own history and identity who faithfully keep their traditions without losing a vision towards the future.

Besides the "Pujada de la Part Forana", each year other walks are held, such as the "marxa des Güell a Lluc a peu", at the beginning of August; the "pujada de Marratxí", that will take place the coming September 17.
