The most beautiful and emblematic ships in the world meet at the Menorca Classic Sailing King's Cup, which in its 15th edition has already become a must-see event for all those who want to enjoy the sea and its boats in a different way. From August 28 to September 1, the Port of Mahón will host these “ladies of the sea”, true museums with sails that constitute in themselves a symbol of naval art, and that evoke the history, tradition and exploits of ancient sailors..
It is fascinating to be able to contemplate them sailing in the natural shelter of the island's port, one of the most strategic in the entire western Mediterranean and which has a very high power of attraction due to the singular beauty of its landscapes, in addition, of course, to the magnificent spectacle offered by the sailboats racing through the crystalline waters of Menorca, which enjoys a great variety of winds, as stated by the organization.
And Menorca preserves that wild and paradisiacal air of the most virgin islands, despite being one of the most desired, and therefore exclusive, destinations in our country. Impossibly turquoise coves, villas lost in the middle of pine forests, spectacular views and still narrow streets to walk have made it in itself an attraction that only enhances the beauty of the regatta. This will remain divided into the four traditional classes: Period (until 1950), Classics (from 1950 to 1976), Spirit of Tradition and Big Boats, to which a new category will be added for boats rigged as schooners.
The test counts towards the Mare Nostrum Trophy and the Spanish Classics Championship, and a total of 144 emblematic boats such as Agneta, Bonafide, Eleonora, Galvana, Stella Polare and Vernique have already participated in it..
Mahón, Ciudadela, the Mola Fortress, Cala Macarella, Naveta des Tudons... Menorca is a magical destination and the regatta can be a good time to explore it and enjoy this natural and exclusive paradise where our De Salas clients will undoubtedly find themselves. like at home. To do this, it is best to stay in small havens of peace that help envelop the unique style of this island with even more magic.
