Tripadvisdor Review – April 2019

Fabulous short break

This is our third stay at la Pergola and was a lovely short break before the Easter rush. We upgraded to half board before we travelled and feel we got value for money. The hotel is very clean and the staff very friendly…

Tripadvisdor Review – April 2019

Wonderful

We stayed here whilst walking the GR221 for a little bit of luxury and that is exactly what we got. Watching the sunset made it extra special.

 Traditional Mallorcan Christmas Cuisine

Traditional Mallorcan Christmas Cuisine

Traditional Mallorcan Christmas cuisine is a delicious and authentic expression of the culture and traditions of this Balearic Island. The typical dishes prepared during this time of year not only celebrate local cuisine but also reflect the spirit of community and family that characterizes Christmas in Mallorca. At La Pérgola, we want to introduce you to these culinary delights.

The Soul of Mallorcan Christmas

Family Meals Christmas in Mallorca revolves around family, and the dining table plays a central role in these celebrations. Homes are filled with the aromas of recipes passed down through generations, blending local ingredients with traditional techniques. Mallorcan cuisine, known for its simplicity and authenticity, relies on land and sea products, which take center stage during the festivities.

One of the most special aspects of Mallorcan Christmas cuisine is the time and care devoted to preparing the dishes. Many recipes require hours of preparation, reinforcing the value of the moments shared among family and friends during the holidays.

Main Dishes: Tradition and Flavor

Sopa Rellena

One of the star dishes of Mallorcan Christmas is sopa rellena. This dish consists of thin slices of country bread layered in a casserole and covered with a hot, savory broth made with meat and vegetables. The soup is enriched with a filling of minced meat, spices, and often sobrasada, a typical sausage from the island that adds a unique touch to the flavor. It is a comforting dish that is a staple on Mallorcan tables during the holidays.

Roasted Suckling Pig

Another essential dish in Christmas celebrations is roasted suckling pig. This dish involves slowly roasting a piglet until the skin is crispy and the meat is juicy. The suckling pig is accompanied by roasted potatoes and sometimes fresh salads. It is the festive dish par excellence and a symbol of abundance and celebration in Mallorca.

Canelones de Sant Esteve

On Saint Stephen's Day, celebrated on December 26, many families traditionally prepare canelones. Although this tradition has Catalan roots, it has been integrated into Mallorcan gastronomy. The canelones are usually filled with meat, making use of leftovers from previous meals, demonstrating the creativity and respect for food that characterize Mallorcan cuisine.

Traditional Sweets: A Perfect Ending

Christmas would not be complete without typical sweets, and Mallorca offers a wide variety to delight diners.

Turrones and Neules

As in the rest of Spain, turrón is a fundamental sweet in Mallorca during the holidays. However, artisanal Mallorcan turrones, made with local almonds, have a special flavor. Neules, thin, crispy wafers, are also popular and often decorate Christmas trees before enjoying them.

Traditional Drinks for Toasting

Christmas in Mallorca is accompanied by traditional drinks such as moscatel, a sweet wine ideal for accompanying desserts, and hierbas mallorquinas, a digestive liqueur served at the end of meals. Additionally, spiced mulled wine, though not strictly local, has gained popularity in recent years during the island's Christmas markets.

The Christmas Spirit in Mallorcan Cuisine

Mallorcan Christmas cuisine is not just about food but also about values like unity, generosity, and respect for traditions. Each dish reflects the island's history, its people, and their connection to the environment. Local ingredients, from almonds to sobrasada, testify to Mallorca's rich agricultural and livestock heritage.
