Mallorcan Culture

Our last day in Mallorca!! The kids and I went to a historic estate outside of Palma that now is a museum of Mallorca's traditions and history. It was such a lovely place! We had a great time. The estate and location were so beautiful, and to my surprise the kids loved the museum too. It was a nice way to say goodbye to an island we've come to love.

I had loosely promised the kids there would be animals there, then got nervous that maybe I was wrong. But luckily, the first thing we came to was all sorts of farm animals! It was fun and the kids were thrilled.

The little baby goats could slip right through the bars of their cage :)

Inside the house were all kinds of antiques showing the trades, crafts, and traditions of old Mallorca.

As we left, we got to have a tasting of Mallorcan foods. Mallorcan donuts with jam were a hit! We also had sausage, cheese, fig cake, and orange cake.

And now we're off! So sad to say goodbye.
