What’s on in Mallorca: Upcoming events in March and April

5 – 7 March
XXII Rally Clásico – Puerto Portals

Each March, Mallorca hosts one of Europe’s premier classic car rallies. Participants from around the world tackle a 600-kilometre course through the Serra de Tramuntana, navigating technical challenges like Sa Calobra’s famous hairpin curves. While the cars compete, Puerto Portals becomes a gathering place where spectators can enjoy restored vintage machines, a Scalextric track and food trucks. It’s as much about nostalgia as it is about the joy of driving, with beautifully restored vehicles from another era taking centre stage.

Galatzó Trail Mallorca – Calvià

The Galatzó Trail is a challenging mountain race that attracts trail runners from all over, eager to test themselves on steep climbs, rocky paths, and sweeping views over the island. With three distances on offer, a 43km mountain marathon, 23km half marathon, and 12km explorer route, there’s a challenge for every level. The longest route takes runners up Puig de Galatzó, which at 1026m is one of the highest peaks of the Tramuntana Mountains.

27 March – 4 April
Trofeo Princesa Sofía Mallorca by FERGUS Hotels

The 55th edition of the SAR Princess Sofia Trophy by FERGUS Hotels opens the 2026 season of the Sailing Grand Slam, a circuit bringing together the world’s most prestigious Olympic-class regattas. Established in 1968, its decades of history and high competitive standards have made it one of the most significant events on the international sailing calendar. From the shoreline, you’ll see dozens of boats dancing across the water, colourful spinnakers catching the wind, while the marina buzzes with international crews.

2 – 4 April
XXXVIII Regata La Ruta de la Sal – Barcelona, Ibiza, Denia

La Ruta de la Sal isn’t stopping in Mallorca this year, but this iconic race between CM Port Ginesta, CN Sant Antoni and RCN Dénia is worth noting. La Ruta de la Sal honors an 1846 race when Barcelona sailors competed to break a salt shortage, transporting “white gold” from the Pitiusas; the winners were paid in real gold. The modern regatta began in 1989 and has become the Mediterranean’s largest offshore race, with over 300 boats participating annually. Part sporting challenge, part seafaring tradition, it remains one of the Mediterranean’s most celebrated sailing events.

XX Cuttlefish & Nautical fair – Alcúdia

Spring in Alcúdia starts with the smell of the sea and fresh seafood drifting through the old town. The ‘Fira Nàutica i Mostra Gastronòmica de la Sípia’ celebrates Mallorcan fishing traditions, maritime culture, and, of course, sepia in all its delicious forms. The weekend brings nautical exhibitions, workshops, traditional dancing, and more than 30 restaurants competing with their best sepia creations. It’s a relaxed, authentic event where locals and visitors mingle to honor the sea and those who live from it.

23 April – 3 May
La Larga / Palma Vela regatta – Palma

April means more world-class sailing in Palma. Palma Vela features two distinct competitions.

Then the 22nd Sandberg Palma Vela Regatta took over from 29 April to 3 May, bringing multiclass racing to Real Club Náutico de Palma with technical windward-leeward and coastal courses.
