CuisineThe local cuisine is very diverse, where dishes are characterized by large quantities of olive oil and garlic. The dishes are light and airy, with lots of vegetables. For local specialties: tumbet (dish of peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes), arroz brut (rice with vegetables and various meats), frito Mallorquin (minced offal, vegetables and potatoes) and jamón serrano (ham dried in the air).
City and sights
As already mentioned the area does not only just have great beaches and tourist facilities, but the city also hides the true architectural gems. The most famous building, La Llotja, is a 16th century market hall and is now a museum.
In the upper city, in one of the alleys we pass the ruins of the medieval Arab baths, and you come towards the cathedral of La Seu.
Opposite the cathedral is the Almudaina – built in the eleventh century, the seat of the Moorish caliphate, then the palace of the kings of Spain.
