The island’s thousand-year history has influenced the Majorcan cuisine. Majorca has always attracted foreigners.
And if today the island is a “Mecca” for tourists, then hundreds of centuries ago it was the largest trading platform of the Mediterranean and an important geopolitical foothold, which powerful coastal countries sought to possess.

Each new nation left a piece of its culture on the island and, of course, dishes and traditions of its cuisine.
