Concours
International Concours d’Élégance
The Grand
In the classic tradition of the great “concorsos” The Grand will be a gathering of 50 carefully curated and selected cars only. Coming from the garage of aficionado, the international car collectors, custodians of historically significant automobiles – the entrants for The Grand are the top-of-the-tops. No question a Concours d’Élégance needs an elegant setting: Therefore, ICONS will held “The Grand” in flamboyant Son Vida – at Arabella Sheraton Golf Son Vida – one of the leading golf courses in Europe.
The Castillo Hotel Son Vida – an epic Grand Hotel since the forties and fifties – a part of the Luxury Hotel Collection – and the Sheraton Mallorca / Arabella Golf Hotel Son Vida are the backdrops and the cosy homes for The Grand and the entrant car-owners.
The concours-field will be on the green not far away from the Es Carbo-Terrace of the Sheraton which overlooks the “line-up” of the coachbuilding-classics, sportscars, prototypes built from 1920 until 1984. Wonderful to spend the day here.
