Roaring engines and squealing tyres in Mallorca
Mallorca located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea is a fantastic tourist destination for those who love to get away from it all and enjoy the beaches, the rugged coastline, the rolling hills, green pastures and appreciate the peace and quiet of nature. If this kind of holiday appeals to you, stay away on the 13th, 14th and 15th of March 2014 as the peace and quiet is set to be shattered and the sound of nature drowned out by the sound of engines revving and tyres squealing when more than 60 classic cars participating in this year’s X Oris Classic Rally Mallorca Island take to the winding mountain roads.
