Gourmet Markets
The freshest and most palatable products of the Balearic Islands
What is a gourmet market? It is the perfect symbiosis between a traditional market, a place to buy the freshest and richest products of the islands, and a gastronomic experience. They are the perfect place to succumb to the temptation and enjoy the best dishes of both the Balearic and the international cuisine as a main dish, portions or tasty tapas.
They live at the heart of the city and have succeeded in integrating the playful and experimental side with the traditional approach without losing the authenticity they have always characterized them. The oysters offering vegetables, meat, fruit, sausage and fish in the past now also offer oysters, sushi, portions, tapas and gourmet products. Here is a list of main markets to help you plan your visit:
