At Garden Hotels, we are proud to sponsor and support outstanding athletes, and Marga Fullana is an exceptional example of this. This Mallorcan athlete from Sant Llorenç des Cardassar is ready to represent Spain at the Mountain Bike World Championships, which will take place in Cairns, Australia, on 19 May.
Marga’s participation in this prestigious event is not only a source of joy for us as sponsors, but also for the whole community of women’s sports, which we love to get involved in, as we do with the volleyball girls from Garden Hotels Ágora Calviá. Marga’s determination and dedication have taken her to the top of the mountain biking world, and at Garden Hotels we are delighted to be part of her journey.
Cairns is Australia’s fourth largest international destination after Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Located in northeastern Australia, it is known for being home to the world’s largest barrier reef – more than 2,000 kilometres long, no less. The area where the competition will take place is a UNESCO protected territory, which highlights the importance of sustainability and environmental conservation, values that we strongly share at Garden Hotels.
The Cairns circuit offers unique challenges for cyclists, with varied terrain ranging from narrow trails to steep, technical sections. The natural beauty of the region, combined with the excitement of the competition, creates a truly unique atmosphere for participants and spectators alike.
Challenging limits
For Marga, this trip to Australia represents a new opportunity to take her passion for mountain biking to new heights. Her dedication and competitive spirit have taken her to the top of the podium on numerous occasions, including a bronze medal at the Sydney Olympics 24 years ago.
The athlete herself has highlighted “the importance of the companies that sponsor us in our sporting lives. Without them, we would not be able to achieve all these crazy things and the dreams that we pursue. I am lucky to have them by my side and I would like to talk about Garden Hotels, which has been with me for years through all my races, however difficult and far away they may be.” Marga: we are privileged to learn from your passion and your values.
At Garden Hotels, we have never taken our brand as far as we do with Marga Fullana, but this milestone reflects the global vocation of both our customers and our brand, with important expansions planned at destinations on the other side of the planet, such as the Dominican Republic. We are excited to open up to the world and to see this excellent athlete compete at the Mountain Bike World Championships in Cairns. We wish you every success on your journey to victory. You can do it, Marga!
