This gastronomic market occupies a coral-pink Modernista building in the S'Escorxador cultural centre, once a slaughter house. With a bar, cafe, terrace and some 20 stalls selling fideuá (like paella, but made with fine noodles), silky croquetas, top-grade acorn-fed jamón, sobrassada (paprika-flavoured cured pork sausages) and a galaxy of other Mallorcan and Spanish treats, it's a gourmand's dream.
