Rafa Nadal Xperience

Recognize the achievements of tennis champion Rafa Nadal at his namesake museum in his hometown of Manacor. On the way there, you will stop to see how famed Mallorca pearls are cultured and shop for exquisite hand-crafted pearl jewelry. Arriving in Blanca Terra a traditional brunch follows, which will showcase the local cuisine much like the museum will showcase the extraordinary talents of favorite son Rafael Nadal, who is affectionately known as Rafa. The Spaniard’s tennis career is legendary, especially on clay courts, and he has generously given back to the community of Manacor by building tennis academies and the Rafa Nadal Xperience. Besides seeing Nadal’s trophies and Olympic medals, you may view sports memorabilia that other star athletes have donated.
