Mallorca delicacies

Weekly markets and market halls

The locals buy fresh fruit and vegetables at the weekly markets or in the market halls of Palma. Weekly markets can be found in almost every town on Mallorca. The stalls are usually set up around 9 am and taken down again at 2 pm.

The two market halls Mercat de Olivar and Santa Catalina are the places to go in Palma to stock up on fresh food. They are open all day.

Our tip: The grocery chain Agromart with branches all over the island also offers everything the island has to offer: Vegetables, flour, milk, wine, etc.

Olive oil straight from the mill

If you don't have your own olive grove, you at least know where to get the liquid gold freshly pressed in late autumn. That's when the oil mills on Mallorca start up and tons of olives are processed.

In the oil mill in Caimari, right at the entrance to the village, you can not only take a look at the production, but also cover your needs right away.

Our tip: The olive festival takes place in the mountain village in mid-November. The village gets all dressed up, musicians perform on the market square and delicacies and handmade products from Mallorca are sold in the alleyways.

Wineries like sand on the beach

Mallorca has around 70 wineries. Something for every palate. If you buy directly from the wineries or even have your wine bottled in the cellars, you are not buying a pig in a poke. A sip to taste is just as much a part of the experience as preferential prices for self-collectors.

Our tip: In September, Binissalem holds its wine festival. This is when the locals still traditionally stomp the grapes in barrels, celebrate together in the streets and let themselves be sprinkled with the young wine.
