Releasing of the Ducks
The "releasing of the ducks" in Can Picafort attracts over 3000 spectators each year. At midday, boats drop anchor in front of the Hotel Sol y Mar and release around 350 rubber ducks into the sea for locals to grab.
Until recently, live ducks were used and people attempted to capture
them as trophies. This stirred up protest from animal rights
campaigners, persuading local authorities to switch to yellow toy ducks
in 2007.
