The Classic Car Club of Mallorca started 2025 with its first rally, the Almond Blossom Car Rally, on February 1.
This annual event is known for celebrating the blooming almond trees along the route. Usually organised by Jean Pierre Allemann, this year’s rally had to be taken over by Stan Hunter and Pam Gardner due to unforeseen circumstances. Jean Pierre had successfully organised it for 17 years, so it was unfortunate he couldn’t continue the tradition.
Stan and Pam maintained the almond blossom theme and mapped out a scenic drive through the central and eastern parts of Mallorca.
Despite forecasts of rain, the weather turned out to be dry and sunny, though a bit chilly. Fifty-eight people and thirty classic cars participated, including eight guest members and five new members. Only two cancellations were made due to the expected bad weather.
While most of Mallorca experienced heavy rain, the rally route remained dry, allowing some participants to bring their convertibles.
After the rally a delicious three-course meal at Terragust, winners were announced. First place went to Michael and Angela Dawson, second to William and Emma Morris, and third to Andy and Sadie Sutherland.
The Classic Car Club would like to say a huge thank you to Stan and Pam for organising such a fantastic rally. The next rally will take place on Saturday, March 1, organised by Blanca Ramos, with details to be announced soon.
