Gastronomic Food Fair comes to Palma this weekend

The biggest gastronomic event in Spain returns to Palma this week with more than 100 tons of seafood and 40,000 bottles of Albariño wine.   MarisGalicia opens from May 24th until June 16th in the capital. 

A 1,200sqm marquee is being erected to house the massive seafood fair on the Levante industrial estate near the site of the unfinished Palma Convention Centre.  Organisers are expecting around 150,000 people to attend the seafood spectacle which will offer 40 different traditional Galician dishes.   Also there will be a special menu of 43 euros for two people which includes lobster, crabs, crayfish, prawns, mussels cooked in vinaigrette and a crab platter.     

There will be seating for 1,000 people at any one time and a fleet of lorries is going to be bringing fresh seafood from Galicia to feed the thousands.     Visitors will also be able to win a free weekend in Galicia including a tour of the famous Pazo vinyeard.

Portals Nous - Fabulous New French Bakery!

Last week we welcomed the new addition to the Portals Nous village shops - a french bakery!  A fabulous one too.  Pascal and Michel are from Toulouse in France and have brought their experience and baking talents to Mallorca.

Their cakes and pastries are exquisite.  Also the quiches, croissants, apple tarts and creamy desserts are heavenly.    A top notch bakers on our doorstep ... or our roof, as the bakery is right above NASH HOMES MALLORCA.   We get the delicious smell of fresh bread wafting to the office in the mornings.    Definitely a must try when you come to the village.     

Pascal is opening his business slowly as he wants to see what the residents and tourists are wanting.  I think that once the superyachts in the marina know about him, he will be doing a roaring trade.  There is a little upstairs patio with comfortable modern white sofas and blue parasols to take a tea or coffee as you are enjoying your purchase.   

The bakery is open from 0830, Sundays too (closed Mondays). You can order your cakes for special occasions and skip away with them in a beautiful box too.
