The MAPFRE King’s Cup not only marks the start of an intense week of competition in Palma Bay, but it also serves as a meeting point for representatives from various sectors that contribute to the economic, business, and institutional development of the Balearic Islands. This was precisely the essence of the evening organized by Nautik Magazine at Saltao de Mar, which brought together representatives from the worlds of business, politics, tourism, sailing, and the media in a relaxed atmosphere, conducive to conversation and making new contacts.
Business leaders, executives, shipowners, hoteliers, and institutional representatives took advantage of the event to exchange opinions and strengthen relationships in a gathering where networking was the main focus. Beyond the social aspect, the evening once again demonstrated the Cup’s ability to bring together a wide variety of people in the same setting, fostering the creation of synergies between sectors that see the sea as a key driver of development.
Among those in attendance were the Regional Councillor for Business, Self-Employed, and Energy, Alejandro Sáenz de San Pedro; the Island Councillor for Economic Promotion and Local Development, Pilar Amate; the Island Director for Economic Promotion, Álvaro Antonio Roca; the General Manager of Club de Mar, José Luis Arrom; the Director General of Economy and Statistics of the Regional Government, Catalina Barceló; the General Manager of Summum Hotel Group, Aurelio Vázquez; the President of ADEMA and the University of Mallorca, Diego González; and the Head of Communications of the Rafa Nadal Academy, José Luis Prados, among other guests.
With the Mediterranean as a backdrop and sponsored by the Quality Center Land Rover, the evening offered many opportunities for reunions, conversations, and moments to share before the competition began. This photo gallery captures some of the key figures from an evening where atmosphere, personal connections, and the exchange of ideas were the main highlights.
