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.

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.

For the second consecutive year, yesterday we had the pleasure of attending the leading event for the residential real estate sector in the Balearic Islands as co-sponsors. Organised by El Económico and the Borbalán media agency, Mallorca Real Estate Summit brought together all the companies in the sector at Castillo Hotel Son Vida.
The sector's most pressing matters were discussed in the morning session, ranging from the latest real estate market trends to the challenges that we are currently facing in the Balearic Islands, including the approval of a new land-use plan, the renovation of the Paseo Marítimo, the construction of a tramway that will connect the whole bay area, the renovation of certain neighbourhoods, the rising cost of building materials, the upcoming elections and, more particularly, the lack of affordable housing.
All the attendees had the opportunity to listen to some of the most prestigious speakers in the real estate, construction, investments, architecture and interior design industries, such as Carme Pinós (National Architecture Award), José Hilá (Mayor of Palma) and Francina Armengol (President of the Regional Government of the Balearic Islands).
After the presentations, all the firms were able to exchange views during the Networking lunch held at the Castillo Hotel Son Vida.
As we already commented last year, the Mallorca Real Estate Summit is a much-needed event given the relevance of the matters presented and debated every year, and the importance of the fact that companies and leading personalities in the residential real estate sector in the Balearic Islands have a forum to meet and prepare new strategies as well as to find synergies.
To facilitate the attendance for all those professionals in the sector who wish to do so, both locally and internationally, the event is always streamed, in Spanish and in English.
If you couldn’t watch the stream yesterday, you will find a recording of the morning session by clicking here.
One of Grupo Ferrá's core values since the foundation of our firm is guaranteeing the utmost safety and protection in all our construction sites.
For this reason, one of our companies is exclusively dedicated to providing the latest advances in safety measures for construction sites. Thanks to Protech, a company of our group specialising in meeting the health and safety needs of construction companies in construction sites, Grupo Ferrá can offer its services with the maximum quality. We have developed an integrated management, monitoring and control system aimed at ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations, with the goal of ensuring that workers can operate under optimal conditions at construction sites.
Now, as always, we continue to improve and perfect our safety processes with the implementation of a new RSA protection system, that we have started using in the construction of the ongoing Son Ferriol Park project.
This protection system, consisting of temporary staircase guardrails with safety nets, offers support and containment from the start of the works and until the final railing is installed, without the need to uninstall it throughout the entire construction process. Below we will explain some of the advantages of working with the new RSA system.
At Grupo Ferrá we are glad to have started employing this system, that we will implement in all our construction sites, thus meeting the highest safety standards for our teams on site.
Last week we attended the presentation of the full programme for the 2nd Paco de Lucía Festival, as special sponsors of this event.

More activities of 2nd Paco de Lucía Festival
In addition to the concert schedule, complementary activities will be offered throughout the city as part of the festival, such as:
Palma: worldwide reference centre for flamenco
Founded and directed by the Majorcan journalist Soledad Bescos, the Paco de Lucía Festival was born out the need for a true flamenco festival in Majorca. This event promotes the preservation of the cultural value of flamenco and celebrates the life of famed guitar player Paco de Lucía, who spent his last years in Majorca.
Profits from ticket sales will go to fund social and pedagogic innovation projects organised by the Paco de Lucía Foundation. This foundation promotes social and cultural integration projects for vulnerable groups through flamenco music, which in 2010 was declared as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
With the proceeds from the first year, the foundation is creating an archive of the creative materials produced by Paco de Lucía, including all his videos, writings, photographs and guitars, which will be open for researchers, as well as a free online guitar school.
