You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Santa Ponsa''' ([[Catalan language|Catalan]] and officially: ''Santa Ponça'') is a [[Town|small town]] in the southwest of [[Mallorca]]. Located in the [[Municipalities of Spain|municipality]] of [[Calvià]], it is 18 kilometres from the capital [[Palma de Mallorca|Palma]].

== History ==
It was believed that Santa Ponsa derived from a Roman villa called Santa Ponctia, but derives from the Arabic words ''Sanat Busa'' which means area of rush bushes. Santa Ponsa is where King [[James I of Aragon]] (''Jaume'' in Catalan) landed on September 12, 1229 in his successful quest to conquer the island and take it from the [[Moors]] after more than 300 years of Muslim rule. Majorca became part of the [[Crown of Aragon]] following James's conquest, and was later annexed to the [[Habsburg Spain|Monarchy of Spain]]. A cross at the sea entrance to the marina marks the spot where James landed. Every September there is a grand fiesta to commemorate the landing with a mock battle between the ''Moors and Christians'' on the beach. It is a two-week fiesta which incorporates a pop concert and firework display.

== Tourism ==
The town is a popular holiday destination and attracts people from countries with colder climates such as Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom, especially from May to October. Some have bought villas and apartments in the hills on each side of the bay. In recent years, it has become a popular party destination among youths due to its nightlife and its close distance to Magaluf, another party area.

== Facilities ==
Santa Ponsa has two 18-hole (I, II) and one 9-hole [[golf course]]s (III).<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.golfholidaysonline.com/santa_ponsa.html |title=Golf Santa Ponsa |publisher=Golfholidaysonline.com |date= |access-date=2011-01-24))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=https://www.yourgolftravel.com/santa-ponsa-golf-club|title=Nova Santa Ponsa Golf Club, Spain|author=Craig Wilson|date=|website=|publisher=YourGolfTravel.com|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2011-01-24))</ref><ref>((cite web|author=waeldermallorca.com |url=http://www.habitatgolf.es/en/index.htm |title=Hábitat Golf Santa Ponsa|publisher=Habitatgolf.es |date= |access-date=2011-01-24))</ref> Santa Ponsa II has hosted a [[PGA European Tour]] event and is open only to club members. Its 18th green is in the shape of the island of Majorca within a pond, reached by a bridge.

The Baleares International College, an English school founded in 1956, is located on the road to the nearby village of [[Magaluf]].

Santa Ponsa also has a private [[marina]], ''Club Náutico Santa Ponsa'' (Santa Ponsa Yacht Club), built in 1975 within the natural cove known as "Sa Caleta".  The marina can accommodate up to 522 boats from 7m to 20m in length as well as offering dry dock services.

Santa Ponsa hosts the Balearic Islands node of the [[Cometa (HVDC)|COMETA]] electric power transmission system from the Spanish mainland.
