Welcome
Mallorca, in a few days
Turquoise coves in the south, stone villages in the Serra de Tramuntana, and Palma with its cathedral facing the sea. Leave the coast and the largest Balearic island turns out to be far wilder than its reputation.

Good to know
Flavours & local habits
🍽️ Worth tasting
- Tapas: small plates to share, and in Granada still brought free with a drink.
- Paella: Valencian saffron rice, eaten at midday and never at night.
- Jamón ibérico: acorn-fed ham, cured for years and carved by hand.
- Churros con chocolate: fried dough and thick chocolate, at breakfast or late afternoon.
- Gazpacho: cold tomato soup, drunk from a glass through the summer.
⚠️ Best avoided
- Dinner starts at nine or ten, and kitchens shut in the afternoon. Plan the day around it.
- A photograph of paella outside a restaurant on the Ramblas is a warning. Eat it at midday, elsewhere.
- Pickpockets work the Ramblas and the metro. Keep your bag in front of you.
- Order the menú del día at lunch: three courses and a drink for what one dish costs at night.
