Mallorca - A Sea of Flavors

Paella, sangria and ham - this is how many travelers would have summed up the culinary highlights of Mallorca just a few years ago. If you ask Andreu Genestra, currently one of the most innovative local chefs, the answer is different: Rice, pork and tap de cortí, a sweet paprika powder. The local ingredients represent a transformation that the Grand Dame of the Balearic Islands has undergone. It's a development away from mass tourism, which has left its mark in many places, and towards a luxurious simplicity that focuses on the original advantages of the island. And there are a lot of different ones.
