Events in Mallorca

Puerto Portals celebrates the eleventh edition of Sankt Martin, a traditional European festival that brings together children and families to enjoy a magical evening under the stars and lantern light. We are once again celebrating Sankt Martin with a very special purpose: raising funds for Fundación Rana, a non-profit organisation in the Balearic Islands dedicated to preventing child abuse and sexual maltreatment. How does it work? Register the participating child (aged 4 and over) by purchasing one ticket per child. On the event day, collect your game card at the information booth. Complete the activity circuit: lantern-making workshop, cookie workshop, the Sankt Martin story, and the Sankt Martin walk. Hand in your game card at the information booth. Puerto Portals will donate €3 to the Rana Foundation for each mission completed. As night falls, Sankt Martin appears on horseback, and the youngest children of the harbour begin their search for him through the marina’s streets, lighting up the darkness with their lanterns. The event ends with a delicious hot chocolate and cookies.

The 9th edition of the Dragon Winter Series is held in Puerto Portals during the winter months. A regatta circuit in which top national and international sailors compete within the framework of a classic sailing regatta, to experience the tradition of the sea up close with the Dragon class monotype boats. Puerto Portals has become the port with the largest fleet of Dragons in Spain and a benchmark on the international circuit. The Dragon is a sailing boat designed by Johan Anker in 1929. It was an Olympic class from 1948 to 1972. The class maintains around 1500 active boats in more than 26 countries, with Germany leading the way with the largest number of boats.
