This week, Palma, Mallorca will be host to one of the world’s most spectacular yacht races.
The Regatta of 24th Conde De Barcelona, being conducted by Hispania Foundation, starts from Monday but the classic yachts from all over the world have started coming to Palma and the fleet of ships will be anchored near the Auditorium on Paseo Maritimo for people to see.
The yachts that are taking part have been divided into three categories: Period vessels, Classic vessels and replicas . These yachts have been built according to the original design and made using the same materials and techniques of the time in which they were originally designed.
This yacht race will continue around Palma Bay throughout the week. Before the prize distribution ceremony on Sunday, the sail past will be organised traditionally which will be presided over by King Juan Carlos.
Also, a lot of other activities will be organised at this regatta camp, organised on and around Paseo Maritimo. Perhaps, the most stimulating and attractive feature of this regatta are the famous classic yachts.
The Vintage Boat section of The Royal Hispania Foundation was formed in reverence to philosophy of Don Juan de Borbón, father of the present King of Spain, to recover the many dumped boats that spoil the ports and the beaches.
The main function of this Foundation is to assist the restoration of Vintage Boats and also to spread knowledge about them.
This will be a particularly busy time for the businesses in Palma and surrounding areas as many visitors are expected to attend, boosting the bars, restaurants and shops in the area.
