Mallorca: Gluten-Free on the Island
Eating gluten-free in Mallorca: what to know about the island’s cuisine, and hotels whose kitchens cater to guests with coeliac disease.
Mallorca is the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, in the western Mediterranean. Beyond the beaches around the bays of Palma and Alcúdia, the island has the Serra de Tramuntana – a mountain range and UNESCO World Heritage Site – old stone villages such as Deià and Valldemossa, and the historic centre of Palma with its Gothic cathedral. The main season runs from spring to autumn; hiking and cycling are especially popular in the cooler months.
Eating gluten-free in Mallorca
Mallorcan cuisine is Mediterranean at heart – fish, olive oil, vegetables and almonds – but several of its best-known specialities contain gluten: the ensaïmada (a spiral pastry made with wheat flour), pa amb oli (bread with tomato and olive oil), coca (a topped flatbread) and sopes mallorquines (a vegetable soup thickened with bread). At the same time, Spain is very coeliac-aware, and many of the island’s hotels are used to guests with dietary needs – often with gluten-free bread, pastries and buffet options.
Tip: tell the hotel about your coeliac disease when you book, not when you arrive – it gives the kitchen time to plan for your stay.
