Food
What to Eat
- Sobrasada. Soft cured paprika-spiced sausage spread on bread — Mallorca’s signature charcuterie.
- Tumbet. Layered roasted vegetables — potato, aubergine, pepper with tomato sauce.
- Ensaïmada. Spiral lard-pastry sprinkled with powdered sugar — the Mallorcan breakfast.
- Pa amb oli. Bread rubbed with tomato and olive oil — the simplest Mallorcan tapa.
Transportation
Getting Around
Rental car is the easiest way to explore the coves; the antique Sóller train runs from Palma.
Park outside cove beaches and walk in — coastal roads have very limited parking in summer.
