When it comes to your annual family holidays, one of the best things about getting away from everyday life is the fact that you won’t have to spend half the day thinking about and preparing meals. If you’re lucky enough to be heading off on Majorca family holidays, you’re in for even more of a treat. The Spanish know how to live and they know how to eat. Mealtime is more than just about the food, it’s a true social and family event and whilst you are on this sun soaked Balearic island, you can tuck in and dine like a local.
Taste Test Some Tapas
The Spanish love their Tapas and once you’ve tried some of these little morsels you’ll know why! Although they are, in theory, bite size nibbles to whet your appetite for the main course, Tapas is often so delicious you will find yourself over indulging. Beautifully presented and mouth wateringly flavoursome, Tapas comes in many forms: grilled vegetables, tortillas, olives, prawns, meats, beans and various breads, in fact anything that can be miniaturised, marinated or served in a creative way! A Tapas night is perfect after a long day on the beach on your Majorca family holidays, and even the fussiest of children will find something to satisfy.
A Perfect Paella
Ah paella; who doesn’t love it? But if you’ve never tried genuine Spanish paella then you can’t truly call yourself an aficionado. Whether you stay in for a night on your Majorca family holidays and make your own paella from local ingredients, or go out and treat yourself to a local restaurant version, once you’ve tried the Spanish olive oil, seafood and rice, you’ll know what we mean. The Spanish pack their paella full of chicken, chorizo, prawns, fish and, of course, it’s all simmered in some lovely Spanish wine. Perhaps it’s the setting and perhaps it’s the juicy seafood; but there’s just something special about eating paella with your family in a restaurant on the beach as the sun sets over the Mediterranean...
Meat Eaters Feast
A lot of traditional Majorcan dishes are quite heavily meat based, using mainly pork which is the island’s staple. Pork lends itself well to the rich, spicy flavours of Spanish cooking and is also used to make varieties of sausages, like chorizo and sobrasada. While the children will find plenty they want to eat on your Majorca family holidays, for adults there’s even more of a delectable choice. Some of the stronger game meats may appeal, as will the stews and dishes flavoured with pungent cayenne pepper and paprika.
Fishy Tales
A clue to what’s the absolute best on offer in Majorcan cuisine lies in its location. The seafood is both abundant and out of this world delicious, and you will find yourself going back for seconds and thirds of prawns, mussels, fish and lobster. Even if the kids aren’t adventurous enough to try some of the more exotic seafood delights, they’ll definitely be tempted by fish and chips with a difference on their Majorca family holidays.
