MobLand
7 marathons, 7 continents
HOLLYWOOD TAKES OVER MALLORCA
IRISH actor Pierce Brosnan, best known for his role as James Bond, is filming the second season of Paramount+’s hit crime drama MobLand in Mallorca during the third week of January. Part of the series will be shot at Sa Fortalesa, on the Formentor peninsula, over four days. Brosnan plays Conrad Harrigan, the patriarch of a powerful Irish crime family based in London. Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren stars as the matriarch, Maeve Harrigan, while Tom Hardy plays the family’s mediator, Harry Da Souza. The three Hollywood stars are expected to share scenes against the stunning backdrop of Sa Fortalesa. Created by Ronan Bennett (Top Boy) and
executive produced by Guy Ritchie, the series expands globally in its second season, delving deeper into organised crime across Europe as the Harrigan empire faces the fallout from last season’s power struggles. Brosnan, 70, has described Conrad Harrigan as “a man torn between family loyalty and the brutal realities of the criminal world,” offering him a chance to explore a darker, more nuanced role.

A powerhouse cast joins the drama.
MALLORCAN athlete and businessman Joan Pere Carbonell is preparing to take on one of the world’s toughest endurance challenges: running seven marathons on seven continents in seven consecutive days. The effort goes beyond sport, as he seeks to raise funds for research into ichthyosis, a rare skin disease that affects his daughter. A member of Club ADA Atletismo Calvia, Carbonell will be the only Spanish runner in this year’s World Marathon Challenge. The event starts on January 31 and is limited to 60 participants worldwide, all selected through a strict process. He will leave Mallorca on Wednesday January 28, beginning in Antarctica with the opening marathon. The challenge was officially presented at Calvia Town Hall, where the municipality pledged full support to promote the initiative. After Antarctica, Carbonell will race in Cape Town, Perth, Dubai, Madrid, Fortaleza and Miami, covering all continents in one week. He is funding the challenge himself, with all donations going directly to ichthyosis research via ictiosis.org/dona.
