Have you heard of tapas bars and bodegas? Well, these are Spanish snack bars and wineries (respectively, that is) where you can experience great tastes of the region. The winding alleyways hide an array of these eating joints where you can have a pintxo at a starting price of just 2 Euros – a good way to enjoy 2011 holidays indeed. So do make it a point to have a go at the many tapas bars and bodegas on your Mallorca holidays in 2011.
What better place to check these out than the capital of Mallorca, Palma! Here are some names to check out during holiday 2011 in Mallorca:
The Tapas Club
The Portixol area near the town centre features renovated fishermen’s cottages along the beach. The Tapas Club at the far end of this settlement serves amazingly good tapas and cocktails from a well-stocked bar. Do taste the mejillones and mojito combos while lazily lounging in the cushioned area inside during your much-awaited 2011 holiday.
La Boveda
This is one place that is equally popular among locals and tourists. The tapas bar sits comfortably alongside a formal dining space. Tortillas, albondigas, hams and cheeses are good snack options while you can try the pork, veal and grilled local fish as part of a hearty meal on your holiday 2011.
Bodega Bellver
With old rickety tables and dusty barrels in a dark room, the Bellver is quite steeped in history. The grill just behind the bar serves succulent chunks of spicy pork which you can wash down with foaming beer and pinchos. A must try during Palma holidays in 2011.
C’an Joan de Saigo
Come over for a traditional breakfast of ensaimadas (very close to croissants) and live the spirit of Mallorca in this joint running since 1700! C’an Joan de Saigo is located in a small alley in the less-crowded old town. Good place to relish some helados as well, during your 2011 holiday.
Bon Lloc
Fresh vegetarian delights are the highlight of Bon Lloc. So much so that the menu for the day is set after whatever fresh ingredients are available in the morning market. The polenta with tomato and coriander as well as the seaweed spaghetti are quite tasty. However, you do need to make prior reservation to enjoy a great dining experience here during your Mallorca holidays 2011.
Tast
Tired shopping in the town centre? Hop into Tast and recharge yourself with some cold tapas, pintxos (mini kebabs), racinos and patata bravas. Tast is a local favourite so you can be sure of really nice serves. Good option for dining on holiday in Palma 2011.
Cappuccino Grand Cafe
The oldest and the liveliest of them all is the Cappuccino Grand Cafe with its airy courtyard and comfortable seating. The back garden is an ideal place to relax with pa amb oli – a local dish made from bread that is soaked in olive oil and rubbed with tomato, accompanied by manchego and jamon serrano.
Wineing
The sizzling prawns – gambas al ajillo – are the best among the array of tapas served here. Besides, the main highlight of the place, as the name goes, is the wines which you can taste according to your choice. Decent drinking out option for 2011 holidays in Palma.
Lizarran
Help yourself to the well-done pintxos at the bar in Lizarran surrounded by the quick pace of the place. Definitely this is not for a relaxed romantic dinner but the local cheeses and meats are worth trying during Palma holidays 2011.
Sa Roqueta
A small wood-panelled eating joint in Portixol region serves excellent paellas wherein freshly caught fish add to the great taste. The shellfish in saffron-laced broth (arroz marinara) is a must have during your 2011 holidays.
