Food and drink

There’s a pork delicacy unique to the Balearic islands that is well worth trying. Sobrasada is a kind of cured sausage akin to chorizo, with soft, ground pork seasoned with paprika.

It’s loved across Spain but originates in Ibiza and Mallorca. For a delicious and authentic main course, try bullit de peix, a fish stew served at local restaurants around the island.

It’s made with grouper and potatoes, but these are accompanied by lobster and shrimp, and the whole things comes with a aioli on the side.

Hidden away in the quaint medieval town of San Gimignano, Gelateria Dondoli is worth the trip alone.
