This month in our blog series we would like to introduce you to the níspero. A fruit, which most of you might not know but which you should definitely get to know when visiting Majorca. It looks like a yellow plum, has the size of a ripe fig and its taste is reminiscent of apricot and peach. Most people come across this fruit for the first time in Spain – the níspero, whose correct name is “Japanese Loquat”.
This month, our gastronomy blog is about the asparagus. Of course, there is also again a recipe for you to try out, maybe even in your holiday finca on Majorca? Have fun with it!
The Spanish Mediterranean island of Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic islands and attracts large numbers of visitors every year. Its beaches and the sea offer recreation for the whole family, and the great variety of excursion possibilities provide distraction and entertainment for adults, children and toddlers.
For a relaxed family holiday with children in Mallorca we have selected 10 particularly child-friendly fincas. Your holiday domicile is then the perfect starting point for excursions and bike rides on this beautiful island.
If you want to know how the Mallorcans really live, leave the beach resorts and go to the centre of the island. There you will discover fruitful plains and gentle, hilly landscapes as well as almost alpine mountains. The Mallorcans in this region specialize in agriculture and handicrafts, and the interior of the island is a paradise for gourmets. Guests can explore the area by hiking and cycling. Olive trees, grapevines and orange fields are interrupted every few kilometres by charming villages, old windmills and stately fincas.
What is harvested in Majorca in February? This month we will introduce you to the Chard, known also in England as the Mangel Wurzel – with a recipe tip for cooking on your holiday finca in Mallorca or at home. Have lots of fun cooking it!
In our blog series we introduce to you every month a food product which can be bought freshly-harvested in Majorca, together with a recipe tip for cooking it on your holiday finca in Majorca or at home. Have fun with it!
The home of these fruity island treasures is the “Valley of the Oranges” near Sóller. The mountain village is embedded in a valley in the Tramuntana mountains, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. An excursion in December to this “Vall des Taronjes” is intoxication for the senses when the orange and lemon groves shine in particularly vivid colours.
At eight o’ clock, when the first rays of sunshine light up the horizon, Mallorca still slumbers. The streets, squares and beach promenades on the wide bays of the island unhurriedly come to life – in Mallorca the clocks tick just a little differently.
