Once again, the Regatta Village, located in the newly-renovated Golondrinas quay, was a hive of activity: the Regatta committees, measuring, protests, inscriptions, press, provisioning cafeteria, restaurant, various types of Mallorcan handicrafts, art gallery photographic services, tourist information, Trophy merchandising, various radio  stations broadcasting live from mobile studios, the “Última Hora” Subscribers Club and other services on offer to the regattas sailors, guests and the multitudinous public that takes such pleasure from contemplating the competing boats that are the pride and joy of the participants.

It was the meeting place, the main square for the curious and those out for a stroll who come to satisfy their curiosity or to greet a seafaring friend.

By nightfall, once the soft breeze fans the quay, a large screen was set up in the cafeteria, and the day’s sailing events were screened to the accompaniment of the most diverse and humorous remarks from the regatta participants now turned into impromptu comedians. In sum, a festive and delightful event.

On this occasion, the village received a visit from H.R.H. Dª Pilar de Borbón who always punctual and strict, purchases a considerable amount of Trophy souvenirs to give away to her numerous family, like every summer.

Similarly the famous dancer and choreographer Ángel Corella visited the Village to aqquaints himself with the finer details of the Trophy. Later on, after holding a press conference to present his show “Corsario”, he went aboard the yacht “Ilona of Kylesku” with his parents Mariano and Maria, Carmen Espinilla and other guests to watch the regatta.
