March 2, 2021March 2, 2021

Today, bars and restaurants on Mallorca open their terraces again after long weeks of lockdown. And Palma looks as if suddenly awoken from hibernation. Except for the sun. But for once, people do not really care. And on time for the return of…

Everybody knows the striking Modernisme facade of Forn des Teatre. And shouldn’t miss a look behind the scenes of Palma’s most emblematic bakery. Tomeu Arbona was just awarded the Premi Ciutat de Palma de Gastronomía 2021. Because it’s not only…
