Arros Brut This rice dish contains plenty of broth and spices and is typical of inland Mallorca. It is comprised of vegetables, game, typical regional cured sausages and some wild mushrooms called 'esclatasangs' in Mallorca, a kind of milk cap (Lactarius sanguifluus), but with a more reddish colour due to the type of pine grove where they grow. |
 |
Sopes 'Sopes mallorquines' is a simple dish, but at the same time one which gives us the opportunity to try garden products depending what is in season. It also contains different variants of meat, wild mushrooms and other kinds of vegetables. |

Tumbet Another substantial Mallorcan dish, a wise combination of potatoes, red peppers and aubergine, all accompanied by meat, either pork, lamb or rabbit. |
 |
Bunyols In this fiesta suitors would court their sweethearts by hiring music groups to serenade them. The women in turn would give the musicians 'bunyols' (fritters) and sweet wine. |

Gastronomia de la Pascua The gastronomy of the Mallorcan Easter. In Mallorca it is traditional to celebrate the days after Easter with 'pancaritats', collective processions during which the participants share 'empanadas' (pies), 'crespells' (biscuits) and 'robiol' (a kind of sweet pasty). |
 |
Ensaimada No product can be more famous or typical of the Balearic Islands. This sweet cake, shaped like a spiral, has become the breakfast par excellence of Mallorcans and visitors alike; it has even spread to bars and cake shops across the seas. |
 |
Licores The most traditional liqueurs of Palma and the whole of the island of Mallorca have their origin in the medicinal brews that were prepared by apothecaries in the 16th century to combat epidemics. Two famous ones are 'herbes' (herb liqueur) and 'palo' |

Vins Palma, as a Mediterranean region, has produced wine since time immemorial.
