The Mallorquins love their baked goods, particularly pastries, and are fiercely proud of traditional delicacies such as the famous ensaïmada, a traditional Mallorcan pastry. As a result, when strolling around Mallorca’s capital Palma, you’re rarely far from one of its numerous bakeries. We’ve come up with a list of the best, from traditional pastries and artisan breads hot out of the oven, to decorative cakes and novelty croissant-muffin hybrids.

The Rosevelvet Bakery is a small cafe with a pretty courtyard and a mouthwatering array of baked goods.
