A Taste of the Past

Learn how to prepare one of Mallorca's classic dishes during a nearly four-hour excursion to Els Calderers, a country manor house in the village of Sant Joan. A tour of the property evokes a Mallorca that existed 200 years ago. The house and grounds are arranged and decorated with antique furniture, books, letters and manuscripts, as well as farming machinery, tools, toys and weapons. Next, you'll learn to prepare "pa amb oli," which means "bread with olive oil" in Mallorcan. This tasty snack made with Serrano ham and cheese is typical of the rustic food found on the island. Then, you'll rejoin your coach for a photo stop at Bellver Castle, which sits 367 feet above sea level. Built 700 years ago for King James of Mallorca, it stands as one of the few circular castles in Europe and boasts beautiful views. Photos taken, you'll journey back to Palma.
