Description
Mallorcan markets are full of light, colour and people. You can have lots of fun at a market and you can also organise more fun in addition to a market visit. For a group, for example, you could sample food or have a wine tasting, go horseback riding, bike riding, organise teambuilding or go hiking in the mountains. Perhaps you would like to visit places where liqueurs, icecream or sweets are made. You can also add boat outings, visits to old mansions with or with out catered food, visits to eat at typical restaurants and much more.

Sobrassada is a typical Mallorcan sausage made from black pig and red pepper
