Mallorca Easter Festivities Review

It wouldn’t be the same in Mallorca if there wasn’t traditional food to eat at Easter time. During the Easter weekend the women of the family sit down to make a collection of savoury panades and sweet robiols, both of which are pastries only seen during Easter. There is certainly an art to making these pies and this year was my first year helping shape the panades in the small town of Selva.

Happy New Year, the Three Kings have made their journey to all Majorcan homes. They started with their arrival by boat in the Port of Soller where they were met by hundreds of local children waiting for the sweets and smiles from the Kings and their pages. They knew that this was just the start and that overnight the presents would arrive, delivered by the Kings on camels or donkeys.
