Marinated

All manner of seafood, including anchovies, sardines and shellfish, steeped in pale green olive oil.
Mirador de Mal Pas

This viewpoint is the first stop on a tour of the Península de Formentor.
Mirador de ses Anímes

The best mirador (viewpoint) on the entire coast is crowned by the Torre Verger, which you can climb, just as watchmen did for centuries, keeping a fearful eye out for Saracens and other pirates.
Mirador de Ses Barques

Located at the top of the road that leads down to Sa Calobra, this marvellous viewpoint overlooks the skein of road loops and, beyond all of the rocky outcroppings, the sea. Stop for refreshment at the restaurant here.
Museu d’Art Espanyol Contemporani, Fundació March

Includes works by Picasso, Dalí, Miró and Juan Gris (see Museu d’Art Espanyol Contemporani, Palma).
On Bread

The signature bread snack is a crust of baguette with olive oil and maybe other toppings.
Orient

Those who make the hair-raising road journey from Bunyola to this hamlet at the foot of Puig d’Alfàbia can have a choice of walks including one to Castell d’Alaró (see Bunyola–Orient–Alaró (Drive) & Alaró.
Pa amb Oli

This is the favourite Mallorcan (and greater Catalonian) snack – a regional version of the more internationally known bruschetta. The basic item is sliced bagette rubbed with garlic then smeared with fresh tomato, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt. To this basic recipe, you can add whatever you please – usually ham and/or cheese. The vibrant flavour is utterly irresistible.

Olives
Papillon

The age of the denizens tends to be in the 20s, but there’s also a good representation of older revellers at this upbeat disco. The music keeps the mood light, in accordance with the name and the decor. There’s no cover charge, and its always shoulder-to-shoulder crowded.
Parc de la Mar

The park next to the cathedral is a popular spot, with a lake, cafés and open-air concerts (see also Palma’s Walls (Walk) & Parc de la Mar, Palma).
