If you’ve been following us online, you know we have just returned from Mallorca, and we loved it. So we wanted to have a chat with the couple that was partly responsible for the great time we had on the island, Steffi and David, aka Gastro Journey, who gave us multiple tips for food and things to do around the island. And we wanted to share that knowledge with you, in case you’re planning to go.

This episode is basically designed for anyone who wants to visit Mallorca. Steffi and David are well-travelled foodies and have some great tips. The things we discuss in this podcast:

• Current situation in Mallorca, Covid-wise

• The biggest mistakes tourist make in Mallorca

• The best time to visit Mallorca

• The must-tries in Mallorca when it comes to dishes, produce, wine, alcohol, basically what to try and where to try it

• Mallorca and tourism - the types of tourism Mallorcans love and hate

• Steffi’s and David’s top three casual and fine dining restaurants, and their top three coffee/breakfast spots

• Their favorite hidden place to eat, and their favorite beaches on the island

• What do they actually do for a living, and can they separate their personal affairs from their work affairs?

• And their guilty pleasures, of course.

Now, we have written a blog post about our trip to Mallorca, so some of the tips given by Steffi and David are already in our tips, and we will add their top threes to the map we have in our blog post.

So sit back and enjoy, and then run book your flights to Mallorca! You’ll love it.

The TL;DR version: We went to Mallorca. You should go, too. Soon.

It seems that 2021 is the year Covid has forced us to discover places that were under our radar previously. We went to Dubai in February, reluctantly, and we really liked it. Now we’ve been to Mallorca, and we loved it too. We’ll have to confess: if you said „Mallorca“ to us, we’d think beaches, resorts, German retirees, maybe Rafael Nadal? We didn’t know much about the island, and did not expect much. But it was a direct flight, Mallorca’s covid numbers were low, and the testing requirements were not that harsh, so the decision was easy. We went for 10 days.

And boy oh boy, we may have left our heart in Mallorca. We honestly loved our stay. Here’s our small report and some thoughts.
