So,
First visit to Balearic Islands, AirBnB in Palma, 2 roof terraces, great air-con, plenty of kitchen equipment, very very steep stairs..!
First thing to get used is they do not do what we think of as tapas. They do what we call ( from out Andalucian / Madrid experience) as media racions, so first bar we went in we has tapas of carne (stewed pork) and pulpo pica pica (spicy octopus), lovely but big. Had tortilla, calamaries and mini muffin de calamari in La Rosa, good wine everywhere.
Yesterday found a few bars that did a free tiny tapa with the drink, few more today, back in the groove. Had tuna / egg salad in apartment last night, bought gambas for spaghetti tonight, food in Palma seems to ave a huge amount of Italian, don't know whether that is tourism or historic invasions. Not as busy or as touristy as I expected, very hot, bit of rain, really enjoying it. Got a Michelin lunch booked for Friday, will be cooking in most of the week
