The experience

This tour lets you eat your way through central Palma, one local specialty at a time. The tour starts at Mercado del Olivar, Palma's main food market, where you taste grilled scallops, a fresh oyster, and a spread of cured meats: Iberian acorn-fed ham, sobrassada, camaiot, and Mahón cheese. Local red wine comes with it. Then you walk Sant Miquel Street and La Rambla, two of Palma's most recognizable stretches, stopping at a traditional neighborhood bakery for coca de trampó, the savory flatbread locals eat.

The centerpiece is a family-run restaurant that has been serving the neighborhood for over 68 years. You sit down to a complete Mediterranean lunch, served with the house wine and a homemade dessert. After that, the tastings close on a sweet note: a warm ensaimada, Mallorca's signature sweet pastry, from an artisanal pastry shop. Every tour includes a surprise Secret Dish you won't know about until you arrive.

Comfortable shoes matter because there's a fair amount of walking between stops. If you have dietary needs, contact the operator in advance so they can do their best to cater for you. Strollers work for infants, and public transport is nearby if you need it. The itinerary and menu can change depending on the venues' availability, the weather or other circumstances.
