If you want experience truly authentic Majorcan cuisine, do not skip this culinary stage. Normally you can combine a visit with a climb up to the ruins of Alaró castle, taking on sustenance either before or after. The décor and the local clientele provide for a classic island flavour. The overarching reason for making the journey up the snaking, 2.5-kilometre-long drive is one of the best shoulders of lamb on the island: slow-cooked in a wood oven, buttery soft and without distracting side dishes.
