The revival of traditional food in Mallorca

Mallorca, one of the islands in the Balearics, Spain, has undergone a revitalization in the last few years with a programme to update its tourist facilities. One result has been a determined revival of traditional customs and food. This has provided visitors with a wider choice of food as well as encouraging more restaurants to serve Mallorcan dishes. Many of these are suitable for vegetarians or are being adapted to vegetarian taste. Describes and comments on these dishes and notes the influence of earlier cultures, in particular that of the Moors, on them. The result is that discerning visitors can eat a far more nutritional diet than they expected.
