Back From Barcelona – Mallorca – Lots of Tapas And Other Good Food – #6

This is my last post from Mallorca. We had a great time, and thoroughly fell in love with Mallorca. We saw and did so much. But now it is time for more Spanish adventures. Next stops, Barcelona and Andorra.

We did one last drive through the mountains of Mallorca. We ended up in Cala Rajada, which I believe is northeast of Palma. It is another very beautiful old mountain town that is full of charm. Again, it is another beautiful blending of old traditions and new ideas.

I have no idea what these decorations are for, but I am assuming it was for some kind of festive celebration. While we we waiting for our dinner to arrive, I strolled about briefly. I couldn’t spend too much time here, because again, Larry didn’t feel comfortable driving the narrow, dark, mountain roads at night.

I am so enamored with all the beautiful old buildings. I love them so much more than all the new, modern buildings. I just love all the attention to detail and I appreciate all the labors of love that went into to buildings these gorgeous buildings. I have been told many times that I have an old soul. I truly believe that too.

We enjoyed a delicious paella and tapas dinner at Sa Granja.

Once again, we began with a cool crisp, delicious white wine, artisan bread, olives and aioli. My favorite Spanish white is Albarino, but surprisingly, I didn’t have too much this time, though we did bring a bottle home to enjoy later.

We ordered and shared paella, garlic mushrooms, stuffed mussels, albondigas and a paprika chicken dish.

We can officially say we have seen most of the beautiful Balearian island of Mallorca. I can certainly see why it is called the pearl of the Mediterranean. It is just breathtaking. I might have just left my heart in Mallorca. I’ll have to go back again to know for sure. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
