4-Hour Market Visit and Traditional Cooking Workshop in Palma
Seasonality, local products, austerity, harmony with nature, gratitude are values that have inspired our relationship with nature from time immemorial. At Forn de la Llotgeta we believe that traditional food cultures are a great source of knowledge to help us address major sustainability challenges, including the way we experiment our travel experiences. We collaborate with small producers & farmers to bridge your culinary experience with the most genuine artisanal food production of Mallorca. You will not only enjoy the taste of their passionate and hard work but also have the opportunity to take with you the ingredients and materials used during the workshop for you to replicate the recipes and bring home the authentic taste of Mallorca.
We want to invite you to connect in a deep, sincere and intimate way with our traditional culture to honor local food, producers and artisans who work with love and respect for this island.
Note: Every Sunday and Afternoon the market is closed.
