Holidays in Palma de Mallorca for gastronomy lovers

As one of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca enjoys very typical Mediterranean diet-based recipes as well as local recipes that will gain your heart. Most recipes include freshly caught fish and shellfish like the very famous caldereta with lobster. Between April and August, lobsters are the main ingredient of this traditional Balearic recipe. No caldereta is ever the same. Every one of them has its own touch. Give it a go at Ola del Mar. Sample some arròs brut that gets its name from the dark colour of the sauce, el Tumbet, a veggie-based recipe typical in the summer or la coca de trampó and the famous ensaimada as a pudding. Indulge your taste buds and treat yourself to these delicacies.

Villas in Palma de Mallorca for explorers

While Palma itself is a wonderful city and a brilliant place to base your holiday, it’s important to remember that the island of Majorca is home to a whole list of fantastic places to discover. The northern section is just one wonderful part of the island which should not be missed. If you’re after an ocean escape, book a villa in Port de Pollenca. If you’d prefer something a little more rural and surrounded by fields but still close enough to the beach when you’d like to visit it, the fincas in Las Palmeras are only a 10-minute drive from the port and are a fabulous choice.

3. Enjoy the tapas trail of Ruta Martiana

To promote local businesses on the quietest night of the week, they started what they called the Tapas Tuesday which is basically a tapas bar crawl and a way to discover the Old Town and the Gerreria neighbourhood. It has become so famous that now they also do it on Wednesdays. For less than 3€ you can have a glass of wine or a pint of beer with tasty bite snacks on a slice of bread called pintxos. Choose from the mouthwatering ham, croquettes and fried calamari and the great selection of cheese and cold meats on the platters. Head to Molta Barra and start your tapas tour!

4. Visit the Arab Baths

These old baths were found last century in the gardens of a manor. Palma was known as an Arab town, Medina Mayurqa. The baths were built on the remains of older buildings. Lovely Roman columns salvaged from different places decorate the warm room, known as tepidarium and a beautiful garden that surrounds the baths make it worth a visit for a day.

5. Get inside Miro’s studio

The renowned artist Joan Miró was married to a Mallorquin woman. His mother was also from the island and it is where he spent most of his childhood. In the 50s, he finally moved to the Balearic island where he opened his own studio on the hill overlooking the sea and the city of Palma. Now it is open to the public. Art lovers will enjoy the studio as well as a tour of the gallery, the sculpture garden and some educational spaces.

7. Enjoy a nostalgic experience

There is no better way than getting on a historic narrow gauge railway to experience a unique moment during your holidays. Known as the red lightning, the journey from Palma de Mallorca to Sóller on the historic electric tram. Initially, its main function was transporting people and goods.
