A day at the races, Hats & Horses in Palma

The 'Ascot style' event has previously been held in Minorca, however this year it has come to Palma. Ariadna Vilata,the event organiser, said “the Majorca environment brings the idea of sea, summer and good weather into the event.”

The jockeys rode in the Spanish tradition of trotting, which sees them sitting in a small carriage behind the horse, being pulled along at speed.
