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. Get an apartment in Santa Ponsa, just 30 minutes from Palma by car, 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, remember that the island of Majorca is home to a whole list of fantastic places to discover. The northern section is just one incredible part of the island which should not be missed. If you're after an ocean escape, rent a villa in Cala d'Or. If you'd prefer something a little more rural and surrounded by fields but still close enough to the beach, find villas in Las Palmeras.

1. Visit Palma's marvellous cathedral

When staying at one of the fabulous apartments in Majorca, no trip is complete without a visit to the impressive Santa María Cathedral, known as La Seu. This spectacular Gothic building was built over 600 years. Take the guided tour and admire the view from the rooftop and terraces, as every year, for a few days, they are open to the public.

2. Stroll along from Palma to Portitxol

Whether you like walking or cycling, a good activity is to walk the wide promenade from Palma to Portitxol. Take this pleasant stroll that will take you to the little port. If you feel more active, get on a bike and cycle for ten minutes to the other end. Have a look around the pretty little marina and have a bite at excellent eateries before heading back to your villa near the beach in Palma de Mallorca. Spend some time at the little beach if you go during the day and sunbathe for a while.

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. This 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 mouth-watering ham, croquettes and fried calamari and the great selection of cheese and cold meats on the platters. Book a villa in Palma de Mallorca and head to Molta Barra to 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. The lovely Roman columns salvaged from different places decorate the warm room, known as the tepidarium, and a beautiful garden that surrounds the baths makes it worth a visit for a day. If you are a history enthusiast and have a villa in Pollenca, plan a trip to Palma de Mallorca, just 40 minutes away.

5. Get inside Miro's studio

The renowned artist Joan Miró was married to a Mallorquin woman. His mother was also from the island, 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.

6. Enjoy a feast for the senses

There is no better place than the San Juan Mercado Gastronómico, a real paradise for food enthusiasts and gourmands to sample the most delicious bites. This is a market with 17 stalls offering freshly cooked local produce, delicious seafood and the most delicious red and white wines on the island. Set in a former abattoir, the high tables accommodate all guests in a stylish interior worth taking a few pictures of to upload on your social media accounts. You can indulge in oysters and champagne, tortillas, pintxos and the mouth-watering jabugo ham. It is a real treat for a quick lunch or a nice evening meal with DJs enlivening the atmosphere.

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 is on the historic electric tram. Initially, its main function was transporting people and goods. Nowadays, it has become a tourist attraction that covers a distance of about 32 km and bounces back and forth the villages every half an hour at a gentle pace. Enjoy a nostalgic trip on vintage carriages with wooden benches and leather seats.
