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.

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.
