Where we cook in Mallorca
The island is big enough that the north and the south feel like different holidays. We cook in the fincas of the Serra de Tramuntana around Deia, Valldemossa and Soller, in the houses above Pollenca and Alcudia, along the south-east from Santanyi to Cala d Or, and in the villas of Son Vida, Portals and Port d Andratx nearer Palma.
A Mallorcan finca kitchen is often the oldest room in the house and the best one: thick walls, a long table, and a door straight out to where everyone is sitting. They are made for exactly this. What they sometimes lack is modern equipment, so your chef will ask what is actually in the kitchen before promising anything that needs it.
