Hola! Apologies for the recent blog silence - I've been on a lovely holiday to Mallorca, with lots of sun, sea and sangria (woop!) And there are many, many holiday munchables to share with you. Yippee!
We stayed about ten minutes' drive from the southern coast of Mallorca, which meant we had access to some wonderful-looking seafood restaurants. On our first night, we headed out to a little harbour-side place in Colonia Sant Jordi called La Marisol.
MMMMM PAELLA.
We ordered the restaurant's own paella, which basically meant it came stuffed full of all the seafood you can imagine, plus chunks of unidentifiable meat. It came to our table in an enormous round pan - the rice was really soft and spiced with lemon and turmeric, while the prawns and langoustines were spanking fresh and the size of small children.
Another evening, we went down the road to Sa Rapita to try a restaurant recommended in our guidebook, called Ca'n Pep. Ca'n Pep! Doesn't that make you happy just by saying it? Ca'n PEP! Ahem.
The guidebook said that the restaurant was famed for its seafood, and as soon as we got served we saw why.
Here's my dinner - it's a whole bream, which has just been seasoned and pan fried. The fish just fell off the bones as soon as you looked at it, and the simplicity of the cooking really brought out all its delicate flavour.
We went back on our last night, because we'd had such a nice dinner the first time round. We had pretty much the exact same meal again, because we are boring, except I had amberjack instead of bream. Amberjack? Yeah, I'd never heard of it either. It's a white fish, but a bit chunkier and meatier than the bream. It was also awesome.
Here was our view from the restaurant:
That's the veranda, and then the sea. I pretty much love Mallorca for that reason alone. Veranda - Sea!
