Hotels VIVA recomienda… Cala Deià y su comida mallorquina.
Diana Pons - 10/23/15

Las recomendaciones del mes de octubre ya están aquí. Una vez más os queremos recomendar una playa, un plato y un lugar únicos, en este caso de Mallorca. Los visitantes de la isla disfrutaréis de estar un día en la increíble Cala Deià, degustar un tradicional plato de caracoles de Mallorca y visitar el incomparable municipio de Fornalutx. ¿A qué esperas para disfrutar la comida mallorquina?

Cala de Deia, Majorca

El otoño ya ha llegado y una visita a la playa puede parecer algo poco recomendable; sin embargo, visitar Cala Deià en esta época del año puede ser algo inolvidable. Situada en la zona norte de la isla, en la Sierra de Tramuntana, es una de las calas más bonitas de Mallorca y en otoño, con unas temperaturas más agradables, es cuando más podréis disfrutar de un paseo de senderismo en mallorca hasta ella. Haciendo una parada en Sa Foradada para contemplar las vistas al horizonte y siguiendo la ruta hasta llegar a Cala Deià, os encontraréis en vuestro destino con un entorno costero único y quién sabe si con un refrescante chapuzón después de la ruta realizada.

Pero las temperatura están bajando y más después de ese chapuzón, así que entremos en calor. El plato de caracoles es un plato típico de todo el territorio español, pero cada lugar tiene su receta y la receta de las Baleares es una de las más deliciosas. El plato de caracoles mallorquines es un plato que se sirve caliente y que se cocina con algunos de los productos más tradicionales de la isla: cebolla mallorquina, ajo, hierbas, pimentón dulce, tomate e hinojo, entre otros, y que podréis acompañar con alioli. Este plato os transmitirá el sabor de la tierra, además de ayudaros a conservar un recuerdo más vivo y rico de la isla de Mallorca. Todo un placer para el paladar y considerado por muchos un lujo y un manjar del que podréis disfrutar fácilmente.

Pocos lugares mejores para hacerlo que la Sierra de Tramuntana, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad, que alberga algunos de los pueblos y municipios con más encanto de la isla, es el caso del municipio de Fornalutx, un pueblo que conserva el carácter de la Mallorca más desconocida. Pasear por las calles de este pueblo que limita con Sóller y Escorca os hará conocer realmente la esencia de la isla; su arquitectura, costumbres, tradiciones e historia.

Una triple propuesta para conocer más a fondo Mallorca y vivirla con más intensidad. Podéis reservar vuestra estancia en la isla en nuestros hoteles en Mallorca en nuestra página web oficial VIVA Hotels  y prepararos para disfrutar al máximo de vuestra visita a la isla con nuestras recomendaciones mensuales.

Hotels VIVA recommends ... Cala Deia, a dish of snails and Fornalutx

The recommendations of October are already here. Once again we want to recommend a beach, a dish and a unique place, in this case they are all from Mallorca. Visitors to the island will enjoy being a day at the amazing Cala Deia, trying a traditional dish of snails cooked at Mallorca style and visiting the unique town of Fornalutx.

Cala Deia

Autumn has arrived and a visit to the beach may seem unwise; however, visiting Cala Deia at this time of year can be unforgettable. Situated in the northern part of the island, in the Sierra de Tramuntana, it is one of the most beautiful beaches of Mallorca and you will enjoy a hiking tour to this beach with the pleasant temperatures of autumn. On the route to Cala Deia you can stop at Sa Foradada to look out over the horizon and as soon as you arrive to the beach you will find a unique coastal environment and maybe you will even take a refreshing dip after your route.

dish of snails prepared at spanish style

But we know it’s getting colder and colder and even more after the dip so let’s get some heat. The dish of snails is a typical dish of the entire Spanish territory, but every place has its recipe and the recipe of the Balearic islands is one of the most delicious. This Mallorcan dish is a served hot and cooked with some of the most traditional products of the island: Majorcan onion, garlic, herbs, paprika, tomato and fennel, among others, and you will enjoy it with some aioli. This dish will let you discover the flavor of the island, in addition to help you retain a memory more vivid and rich of the island of Mallorca. A pleasure for the palate that is considered by many a luxury and a delicacy that you will be able to enjoy during your stay.

narrow street in Fornalutx villageAnd one of the traditions that are still alive in the villages of Mallorca is going to find snails after a day of rain. There are not better places to do so than the Sierra de Tramuntana, declared World Heritage Site, home to some of the towns with more charm of the island, as the town of Fornalutx, a village that retains the character of the unknown Mallorca. Walk around the streets of this town between Sóller and Escorca and you will really know the essence of the island; its architecture, customs, traditions and history.
A triple proposal to learn more about Mallorca and live it more intensely. You can book your stay at the island in our hotels in Mallorca on our official website VIVA Hotels and prepare to make the most of your visit to the island with our monthly recommendations.
