There is no question that among all the world’s 5-star hotels, Mallorca is in a class all by itself. One of the most luxurious islands in the world, and home to one of the world’s most fabulous tourist destinations, Mallorca is famous for its incredible beaches and enviable night life. The hotels are a reflection of the place, with amenities to suit any traveler, and a sense of elegance that is only found here on Spain’s largest island. Guests looking to hide from the world and rejuvenate their senses will be well-rewarded here.
Mallorca has an amazing history, and some amazing people. One of its current favorite sons is the young motorcycle rider, Jorge Lorenzo. Although he just turned 21, the rider has already turned heads all over the world with his skill at riding on two wheels. Born on May 4th, 1987, in Palma de Mallorca, Jorge Lorenzo began riding when he was just three years old. He started competing at a young age as well. In 1998, he won the Aprilla 50cc competition, even though he was only 11 years old. The Spanish government gave him a special dispensation to compete in the 125cc race in 2000, which he also won, making him the youngest motorcyclist to win a European race.
He has since graduated to the 250 cc class in 2004, and 2006 and 2007 saw some of his most amazing wins. He won world titles for both years, with nearly 20 pole positions to his impressive resumé, and in 2008 became the Rookie of the Year from MotoGP. His reputation as a skilled rider is sometimes preceded by his reputation for spectacle, and a tendency to celebrate with an intense lust for life. Jorge Lorenzo crashes well, and recovers spectacularly, and does everything with a panache that is unmistakably Mallorcan.
