Throughout its timeline, Spain has been shaped by the assortment of diverse cultures that have left their mark on its lands, dating back as far as the pre-Roman era. Whether it be in the form of architecture, language, art, or, of course, their cuisine, the Iberian Peninsula’s influence from empires across the Mediterranean and beyond has shaped it to be the distinct stronghold as which we all know and love it today.
From the Phoenicians to the Greeks, the Moors and the Carthaginians, Spain’s deep-rooted history of sieges and successive colonisations has meant its culinary development has taken a complex journey. A journey which has now reached what, in our modern day, we would consider being “typically Spanish” cuisine, which, ironically, is largely not Spanish at all.
The country’s sub-regions and island nations have developed their own tastes and cuisines over the centuries. Having also been dominated by ancient empires and colonies, the islands, whilst having similar tastes and culinary traditions to that of the mainland, have created their own unique gastronomic scenes.
Balearic cuisine, in particular, is rich in legumes, cereals, and vegetables, utilising the best of local, fresh and regional produce, including seafood, wines, and cheeses.
As the biggest island in the Balearic isles, Mallorca has developed its own distinct gastronomy, known in its native tongue as ‘Mallorquin’ food. Heavily incorporating pork, seafood, and vegetables, with plenty of oils and seasonings, Mallorca’s cuisine holds the island’s deep-rooted history and rich traditions at its forefront.
Whilst on the island, you can sample any of its most famed to lesser-known dishes, from Arros Brut to Tapas and Tumbet, the island has a host of culinary delights waiting to be discovered during your next adventure, allowing you to savour the sumptuous delicacies of its regional produce.
And the gourmand traveller in Mallorca has much to discover in the north of the island. If you’re in search of Mallorca’s traditional favourites adored by the locals, or looking to sample its 5* cuisine on offer, one of the best places to sample the island’s wealth of gourmet eats is in Alcúdia.
