Terracotta dishes and Cala Bona!
7 Replies
Hello everyone. We live in France and will be visiting Majorca in October. Can anyone tell us the best place to buy the terracotta cazuelas dishes (I think that's what they're called but may go under other names). We want the 20 cms ones if possible. Our current ones bought in Nerja about 20 years ago have seen better days! Also, we haven't booked accommodation yet but probably looking at Cala Bona to stay so any recommendations would be good (Half-Board). We love walking so if anyone can recommend any, perhaps 6-8kms that would be great. Also, are there any good factory shops (not pearls!) for clothes/shoes etc? Thanks.

Hi just a thought why not visit the market in Sineu there is usually a couple of stalls that sell the terracotta dishes you are looking for and if that fails you can always enjoy the market anyway, especially the miniature pigs carrying out various tricks. www.everythingmallorca.com/markets/sineu-market
Hello and Greetings from Sa Coma Mallorca!
My recomendation to stay would be the Hotel Cala Bona. It is a family run Hotel
right on the beautiful Habour of Cala Bona. Though it is always very busy so I would book as soon
as you are able. Regarding you dishes...yes they are Cazuelas. Close to Cala Bona is
the town of Son Servera. They have a Market every week and there you would be able
to find your dishes and many other culinary artcles....
There is also a very large Market in Felanitx on a Sunday...and another in Manacor on a Monday..which has a bit of everything and Cala Millor too, but this one is more for clothes...I too would recomend Sinau, it is a bit further out but well worth visiting...hope this helps...
If you need any other information please just Post me...all the best...
No, we didn't go to Sineu as we managed to buy the dishes locally in Santanyi (we stayed at Cala D'Or). To be honest I was disappointed in Majorca - it isn't so nice as it once was. We couldn't find any nice 'real' Tapas bars, just tourist food (we don't eat burgers or pizza!). There were lots of Russians and Eastern Europeans where we stayed so, as a Brit, we felt in the minority (how very different to the Majorca of a decade+ ago!).
