Then there are the Romans, who came and built roads, theatres and public buildings, many of which have been excavated and are open to the public. Fast forward almost 1,000 years and it was the turn of the Arabs to conquer the island and rule over it for over 3 centuries, changing the culture and cuisine forever. Travellers started coming to Alcúdia in the first half of the 20th century, but it was the 1970 and 1980s that saw the biggest boom in tourism.

Due to its year-round sunshine, Mallorca is known for producing some of the highest quality fruit and vegetables in Europe. Couple that with fresh catches of the day, hauled onto the shore by local fishermen, and you've got a winning combination. Mallorcan cuisine is simple, perhaps just a lightly grilled fillet of fish, topped with Spanish olive oil and served with vine-ripened tomatoes. There are some regional delicacies to enjoy, like sobrassada, a type of cured sausage, or tumbet, a vegetarian dish made from aubergines, peppers and potatoes, topped with tomatoes. Keep an eye out for caldereta de llagosta on the specials board; it's a lobster stew cooked in brandy, garlic and onions, best mopped up with freshly baked bread.
If you're coming from most parts of Europe, you shouldn't need any visa to enter the country for up to 90 days. If this doesn't apply to you, applying for a Schengen visa is a simple enough process. The official language of Mallorca is Catalan, though Spanish is also spoken by almost everyone. It's useful to pick up a few phrases before you visit – just being able to say thank you and please goes a long way.
