During my semester studying in Mallorca, I spent many days and nights enjoying the food and beverages that Palma has to offer. Every Tuesday night, during "Ruta Martiana", we would roam the streets of the old town, looking for the next place to get Tapas and drinks. I was personally always on the hunt for some good ice cream and was never disappointed. During the day, we'd study in one of the cute coffees, discussing environmental problems or conjugating Spanish verbs over a big cup of cappuccino and some carrot cake (I'm looking at you, Mise en Place!)
Living with a native Mallorquian family, I was also introduced to their favorite restaurants around the city that I grew to love and that have become traditions whenever I go back to visit.
So why not share the joy? Here are my favorite spots around the city:

Love, Lena
