Mediterranean Bliss in the Balearics: Spain's Island of Mallorca

Overview

After yesterday’s food tour, today shifts the focus to nature — though it wouldn’t be Spain if there wasn’t also a culinary component intertwined in the landscapes you’re visiting. After breakfast this morning, you’ll transfer to a traditional, rural olive estate. Here, you’ll meet the family that runs this sustainable olive farm and get a taste of the Mediterranean lifestyle and its byproducts. Specifically, you’ll tour the grove’s facilities and mill, then walk through the historic olive grove. When the tour concludes, you’ll enjoy a relaxing picnic in the shade of ancient olive trees. That meal will allow you to sample the best Spanish meats and cheeses. What better taste of culture than a meal of sobrasada, coca, camaiot, jamón ibérico, and a selection of cheeses — all complete with dried nuts and homemade jam? After the visit, you’ll have the option to visit the villages of Deia and Valldemossa, not far from the olive estate. The town sits in the heart of the Tramuntana mountain range — an area prime for hiking, if you’re so inclined. This afternoon, you have time to partake in a hiking experience along Mallorca’s dramatic northern coast of Mallorca, where the Tramuntana Mountain merges with the Mediterranean Sea. From there, you’ll return to your hotel and enjoy free time around the island. (Breakfast, Lunch)
