What to expect
You'll meet your guide and head into Palma's Old Town to start at Mercado del Olivar, where you'll taste grilled scallops, oysters, and a spread of cured meats and local cheese alongside red wine. After the market, you'll walk to a neighbourhood bakery for coca de trampó, a savoury Mallorcan flatbread. The tour then takes you to a wine-cellar-turned-restaurant where you'll sit down for a full Mediterranean lunch with house wine and homemade dessert. You'll finish at an artisanal pastry shop sampling a warm ensaimada. Throughout, your guide will share context on what you're eating and why it matters to local food culture.
