Another way to discover Mallorca is through its cuisine and typical products. There’s no more typical and famous product of Mallorca than the “ensaimada”, this sweet in the form of spiral has become Mallorcan and visitors favourite breakfast. The ensaimada is a product that can be taken in almost all the bars and cafes of the Balearic Islands. Many bakeries and pastry shops make them in their own ovens.
Sobrassada is one of the best known products of the islands. It is still made all over the archipelago, currently is registered under the Protected Geographical Indication Sobrasada de Mallorca. Almond is grown throughout the island, and the characteristics of Mediterranean climate, the Mallorcan almond has been rated as one of the best in the world. The blossoming of the almond trees of Mallorca is world-famous, comparable to the cherry trees blossoming in Japan. Equally important are the wines and oils from the island. Olive cultivation and the production and consumption of olive oil have a long tradition on the island of Mallorca. Traditionally, oil Mallorca is recognized and appreciated by the inhabitants of the island as visitors. Mallorcan olive oil is among the best in the world.
The land of Mallorca with a mild and pleasant climate is ideal for growing grapes instead. The large number of native varieties that exist on the island, cultivated with patience, low yields and well prepared, result in wines with personality, quirky, different from the rest of the world.
Similarly, the island offers plenty of activities to do. Is world renowned golf boom in Mallorca and the importance of its golf courses, but also highlights the cycling routes. There are not many places in the world that have the variety of landscapes that Mallorca offers. Besides the possibility of pedaling from a fishing port to a mountain top notch in a few minutes. More than 1,200 km. secondary roads will allow you to get by bike to the most beautiful enclaves on the island. Mallorca is already a landmark destination for cycling, thanks to the climate, the short distance that separates the island from the rest of Europe and the hotel variety.
Mallorca is the perfect setting for hiking. The splendid location of the Serra de Tramuntana makes us privileged. Mountain and sea in a unique setting with a huge range of options, routes and levels. Each of them reflects a small essence of history, tradition, flora and fauna of Mallorca. The Serra de Tramuntana is arguably the most attractive area for walking tour. Here is the highest peak of the Balearic Islands, Puig Major (1445 meters). In this range there is a hiking trail, the “Dry Stone” simple level that runs from west to east, from Andratx to Pollença.
As evening falls, a good option is to enjoy the sunset at famous landmarks such as Puerto Portals. El Mirador de sa Foradada, in the heart of the Tramuntana coast, is a classic. From its high vantage point we contemplate a fall of only sun, drawn on an infinite sea. We found more viewpoints in the area of Tramuntana, some little crowded as the popular Torre de ses Ànimes of Banyalbufar and other surrounded by glamor and sophistication as the panoramic arising from the terraces of Port d’Andratx. Formentor, is a must visit offering the best sunset panoramic. Mallorca has a lot of points to enjoy an unforgettable sunset.

In the words of actor Michael Douglas (great lover of northern Mallorca), the island “Astonishes for its mixture of civilizations, its strong international influence and especially because it keeps its own culture in an authentic way.”
