We are just a few weeks away from the end of 2020 and, undeniably, we will all be glad to see this year come to an end. COVID-19 has caused great turmoil worldwide and Majorca has not been spared.
Among such uncertainty and struggle, the Mallorca Preservation Foundation (Fundación para la Conservación de Mallorca) has proposed that we join an aid programme with the aim of bringing some light to the daily existence of many Majorcans, which has lately been rather grey.
Majorca Produces – Urgent Aid
This initiative is born out of a desire to help those in the greatest need and is proof that joining forces we can find great solutions even in the direst situations. An example of such solutions is providing fresh produce to 1,500 families for 2 months and helping small ecological producers on the island who, due to the pandemic, have experienced a drastic reduction in demand for their products.
To solve both problems, the Cooperative of Majorcan Ecological Farmers (Cooperativa de Pagesos Ecològics de Mallorca) has launched a proposal for the purchase of products that will guarantee an income to their members. The products, in turn, will be donated to the “Tardor” soup kitchen to feed vulnerable families.
Preserving the island also guarantees the well-being of its inhabitants.
The Mallorca Preservation Foundation intends to fund the purchase of sustainable local produce, raising €15,000 to maintain this aid for 2 months.
At Grupo Ferrá we feel truly proud and grateful to live on an island where hardship unites us more than ever, giving rise to such humane, supportive and effective initiatives as Majorca Produces – Urgent Aid. For this reason, when we were asked to contribution we did not hesitate.
Do you also want to help guarantee well-being on Majorca?
One of the elements that has surprised us the most about the programme to support the Majorca Produces – Urgent Aid programme is that 100% of the contribution that we make will be directly used for the project. This means that there will be no administrative fees. All the donations will directly reach those in need.
So far, the Mallorca Preservation Foundation has raised €5,000. If you also want to join this initiative, contact them by clicking here.
It has been 130 years since our founder, Pedro Francisco Ferrá Mir, started the family business, presently known as Grupo Ferrá and structured around three business units: Ferrá Tur, Baltyc y Protech. Our services include new build construction, renovations, maintenance of all kinds of buildings and health and safety management.
Today, after 4 generations, we are still a big family. This is the reason why we want to celebrate this anniversary, presenting our company through the eyes of some of our 65 employees that help build it every day.
Our most noteworthy projects
One of our most relevant construction works, under Pedro Francisco Ferrá Mir’s leadership, was the old GESA power plant. This is one of the highlights that his great-granddaughter and our Marketing Manager, Ana Ferrá, brought up when discussing our beginnings during her interview with Style in Mallorca.
For more information on this interview, click here or on the following image. 
Our relationship with GESA continued with the execution of many more maintenance projects. Juan Arbona, master bricklayer at Grupo Ferrá for 24 years, remembers this clearly when asked about his best memories on working with the company:
“Those were some extremely rewarding years in which we worked side by side as a big team. Both us from Ferra Tur and GESA’s staff”.
A big family
This is how Raquel Carrasco, Financial Manager at Grupo Ferrá for 13 years, defines her experience at the company. When asked “What is your favourite thing about working at Grupo Ferrá?”, Carrasco adds:
“It’s wonderful to feel part of a company, where you are listened to and where your opinions count. And more importantly, you are treated as an individual, not a number.”
Upon being asked the same question, our Works manager, Tolo Soler, adds that after more than 20 years working at Grupo Ferrá:
“The feeling of camaraderie is one of my favourites. The good vibe with my colleagues and when I see that things are moving in the right direction and everything is going well”.
Our General Manager, Antoni Gurrera, has experienced this same feeling of a close team with a human touch ever since his first day at Grupo Ferrá:
“I immediately noticed the great atmosphere that we are so fortunate to enjoy at Ferrá Tur […] I was welcomed with open arms both by my colleagues and by the Ferrá family and, well, now I feel a bit like part of the family."
“Values, enthusiasm and commitment”
Our Site team manager, Víctor Trujillo, also mentions a big family when commenting on his experience working at Grupo Ferrá:
“After 19 years at Grupo Ferrá, I can define this big family with 3 words: values, enthusiasm and commitment”
Each finished project carries good memories
And this is how our Site manager, Lluis Alomar explains it, while also fondly connecting his best memories within the company with the birth of this daughter in 2010:
“Every time that we finish a project it's a lovely memory, because we have just completed a client’s dream house”.
From Grupo Ferrá, we would like to thank every single one of our professionals for the effort and dedication that they pour into every project. Thanks to this big family, we are still building our history, since 1890.

We are proud to confirm that we will soon begin construction of the Ever One Mallorca residential complex.
Located at Cala Major, this new build project will include 27 luxury apartments spread over two buildings and equipped with facilities that are designed to fully integrate the natural landscape of this area.
Location
The Ever One Mallorca luxury residential complex will be located barely 150 m from the beach at Cala Major.
Facilities
Every detail at Ever One Mallorca is designed with luxury and comfort in mind. A good example is its rooftop infinity pool, as well as its large common area, which includes a sun deck.
Other common areas are its sauna, gym, and gardens.
The Apartments
The complex will include 2 buildings with linear façades, large picture windows and a few apartments with private pools.
Its structure, facilities and characteristics have been designed to take full advantage of its outstanding location, offering sweeping sea views. With this purpose in mind, its 27 residential units have sea views and terraces that can be accessed both from bedrooms and living rooms.
The construction of both buildings will offer a range of options, from 2-terrace apartments (one roofed terrace and one with sea views) to 3-bedroom apartments with ensuite bathroom and a private pool on the upper floor.
Grupo Ferrá, which will oversee this project, is proud to apply its signature high quality standards to all construction processes.

Today we would like to present to you this ongoing project for a multifamily residential building located in Son Ferriol, a mere 5 minutes by car from Palma’s city centre. This terraced multifamily residential building includes 32 residential units, 48 parking spaces and 32 storage rooms.
Son Ferriol Park’s built surface area
This project will have a total of 6,331.60 m2, out of which 5,408.32 m2 shall be the total built surface including porches (included in the calculation at 100%) and 923.28 m2 shall be the total area of the uncovered terraces.
Layout of the building
Built on the basis of a reinforced concrete structure, the building will consist of 32 residential units of between 1 to 3 bedrooms each. Those residential units will include ground floor units with ample porches and gardens, 1st and 2nd floor units with terraces, and penthouse apartments with rooftop terraces and views over the Bay of Palma and the Serra de Tramuntana.
In terms of building materials, exterior walls will be made of ceramic bricks with an exterior thermal insulation system (SATE), and interior acoustic insulation with mineral wool. Exterior façades will be finished with an acrylic mortar coating.
Walls separating residential units will be made of ceramic bricks, while interior partition walls will be built out of a galvanised structure and laminated plasterboard.
External windows will be made of aluminium and glass with rolling shutters, and internal carpentry will be made of white-lacquered wood.
Regarding floorings, indoor areas will be paved with vinyl flooring tiles and stoneware in humid areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Outdoor floors, as well as common areas and staircases will be paved with Zarzi grey natural stone. The project also includes reversible heat pump (hot/cold) systems.
Energy Efficiency Rating B
Son Ferriol Park will incorporate an engineering project aiming at achieving a B Energy Efficiency Rating for the building.
Likewise, the installation of DHW generation through an aerothermal system contributes both to energy efficiency and to the building’s sustainability.

The two finals of the Mallorca Championships, of 250 ATP Tour category, organised by e|motion sports at the Mallorca Country Club of Santa Ponça, were held on Saturday the 1st of July. This year's Mallorca Championships, which as usual culminates the grass court tournament series preceding Wimbledon, has witnessed some thrilling victories and new achievements in the tennis world.
On the one hand, after a nerve-wracking final that lasted a little over 1 hour, US tennis player Christopher Eubanks, currently classified as the 77th worldwide tennis player, became the singles champion after defeating French player Adrian Mannarino, who holds the 43rd position on the world ranking. Eubanks, who is 27 years old, displayed a solid and dominant style throughout the tournament, taking advantage of his powerful serve to accumulate a total of 11 aces in the finals and more that 60 throughout the championship.
With this victory, the young tennis player wins his 1st ATP title, which shall be milestone in this professional career and improves his position in the worldwide ranking. For his part, Mannarino, 35 years old, fought valiantly in the final, but could not withstand Eubanks’ relentless game. Even though he did not get the title, his remarkable intervention is proof of his prowess on the court and a confirmation of his position as one of the world’s best tennis players.
But the surprises did not end there. In the doubles competition, the Yuki Bhambri and Lloyd Harris doubles pair won the title at a thrilling final against the Robin Haase and Philipp Oswald pair with a result of 6-3, 6-4. This victory is the 1st doubles title for Bhambri and Harris, who could not conceal their happiness and satisfaction at this achievement.
After all this, together with Kyrgios’ sudden withdrawal due to injury, Tsitsipas’ and Shelton's defeats, Feliciano López’s emotional retirement from professional tennis, we could well say that this year's Mallorca Championships has left us a legacy of firsts and powerful emotions. We have had the privilege to witness a display of talent and first-rate tennis, where both Eubanks and the Bhambri/Harris doubles pair have showcased their talent and determination on the court, cementing their presence from now on in the Mallorca Championships’ record.
Grupo Ferrá would like to extend our most heartfelt congratulations both to the winners and to e|motion sports and the Mallorca Country Club for the flawless organisation of this tournament. We are very proud to have participated in this edition of the Mallorca Championships as its official sponsors.

Commitment to sustainability
With the goal of positioning itself as a prime example of the concept of a "Green Event", the ATP Mallorca Championships supports actions aiming at guaranteeing sustainability thanks to cooperation agreements with both public institutions and private sector partners. Some of these actions include: designing projects to avoid the use of bottled water at sporting events; maximising the generation of solar and photovoltaic energy at the club and for the event; promoting the sustainable mobility service through the use of electric and hybrid vehicles; integrating and promoting local products; and creating projects for the promotion and increased awareness of sustainability actions.

The 2nd “Diario de Ibiza” Golf Tournament was held last Saturday the 22nd of April at the stunning facilities of the Club Golf Ibiza.
78 players (members of the Golf Association) participated in this 2nd edition of the tournament and enjoyed an exclusive day playing golf under the Stableford individual format, an event that generated such interest that there was a waiting list until a few days before its start. During the competition, participants took part in events such as the Ladies and Gents Scratch, Handicap in different categories, the longest Drive and the Closest-to-the-pin.
Among the participants, we were honoured by the support given by Bernardino Jaume (President of the Balearic Islands Golf Association), Bartolomé Tous (Vice-President of the Balearic Islands Golf Association), Salvador Losa (Island Councillor for Sports and Finance) and Toni Ramon (Local councillor for Sports of Santa Eulària).
But that wasn't all. This year, the tournament also held a very special surprise for those who could make a Hole in One on the 16th Hole. Proa Group, the tournament’s co-sponsor, offered to gift a Mini Electric to whomever could achieve such a feat. This year no one managed to do so.
This is the ranking list for the 2nd “Diario de Ibiza” Golf Tournament, Grupo Ferrá trophy
After successfully completing all 18 holes, Mercedes Bonet won the Ladies Scratch with a score of 86 strokes, while Lucas Orsateli won the Gents Scratch with a total of 74 strokes. While all participants excelled in their game and exhibited perfect sportsmanship, the ranking list was finally as follows:
Throughout the morning, players had the option to take a break at the Halfway, to cool down and recharge batteries with the finger food and drinks prepared by the catering company El Paladar. Other activities were also offered alongside the competition, such as the golf beginners’ workshop, which allowed anyone who wished to participate to get an introduction to this entertaining and exciting sport.
Networking cocktail, award ceremony and extra presents with a Premium raffle
Following the tradition established last year, the golf session culminated with a delicious cocktail and an award ceremony held at the Hoyo 19 restaurant, located within the premises of the Golf Ibiza club. There, the players had a chance to get to know each other and exchange views on the tournament, while they enjoyed the dishes prepared by the restaurant, a photo booth organised by Sonríe 123 (Fotomatón Ibiza) and the live music offered by Pure Ibiza Radio.
Without a doubt, this was a successful 2nd edition that allowed all participants to enjoy sports, nature and light entertainment, culminating with a final raffle offering prizes provided by the following partner firms: Aguas de Ibiza Grand Luxe Hotel, Restaurante Bon Lloc Ibiza, Sonríe 123 (Fotomatón Ibiza) and Clínica Dental Bustamente.
At Grupo Ferrá we would like to thank Diario de Ibiza for counting on us once more as official sponsors of such a special tournament in Ibiza. Together with us, Proa Group also participated as a co-sponsor for the event, represented by its brands Land Rover, BMV and Mini.
Last but not least, we would also like to express our utmost gratitude to the entire team of Diario de Ibiza (coordinated by the Event & Relationship Manager Mariana Chacón) for their outstanding work, as well as to Golf Ibiza and all the professionals that contributed to turning this day into a huge success.
