New in Palma, Majorca …

… is the #SanJuan Gastronomic Market. Housed in what was once the city's central slaughterhouse, the market has 17 food stalls selling local, national, and international products, a café, and a cocktail bar.

Based on a formula similar to that of markets in Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon, and open from 10am to midnight, 365 days a year, it will host cooking classes, private tastings and cookery shows.
