Mallorca is famous for its delicious olive oil, salt, wine and xeixa bread but, while staying on the island, you have to try local fried sardines and other sustainable small Mediterranean fish
The cathedral sits resplendently at the heart of Palma
The Ferrocarril de Sóller takes you from Palma to Sóller on a picturesque antique wooden train – something you can’t miss out on. It’s perfect for a day trip to explore the island from a different perspective
Mallorca’s cathedral is the best-known landmark on the island and a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Its nave is 44 metres tall
El Aquanauta is a hip Mexican canteen with Mallorca surf vibes. It’s my favourite place for tacos and mezcal margaritas. Pictured is tamarind-marinated gilthead sea bream with mango sauce and pulled pork with onion and habanero salsa
This beach is located along the Formentor Peninsula in the northeastern tip of the island. It’s a less crowded, more peaceful option for nature lovers and hikers
