Esporles in Mallorca: The farmer’s market<\/h2>\n\n

A short visit to one of the numerous markets on Mallorca<\/strong> is actually enough to realize that foodies get their money’s worth here. Every village, no matter how small, has its own market during the week. Often you will find stands of local vendors<\/strong> who sell products from their own finca!<\/p>\n

The Mallorcan soil is very fertile – and the (almost) constantly shining sun<\/strong> does the rest. Lemon and orange trees<\/strong> actually grow everywhere on the island. So is everything else you need for a healthy Mediterranean diet: olives, juicy tomatoes, dried fruit, fresh fish, huge watermelons<\/strong>. The list is endless!<\/p>\n\n

Esporles: The market as a village event<\/h2>\n\n

The market day<\/strong> is often also THE event in remote villages. Apart from the fact that you can often get much fresher fruit and vegetables here than in the local supermarket, you also get to hear the latest village rumors<\/strong> – or just get to chat with the neighbors over a caf\u00e9 con leche<\/strong>. Especially for the elderly people, who don’t leave the village much, the market day is a good opportunity for social contacts.<\/p>\n\n
