Beaches for all tastes

Local gastronomy
After a route or a beach day, it’s time to recharge.
The cuisine of Santa Margalida and its surroundings reflects Mallorca’s multicultural past: traditional dishes coexist with fresh seafood recipes along the coast.
In Ca’n Picafort, the sea defines the culinary identity with fresh fish and seafood tapas.
In the inland area, Santa Margalida keeps alive traditional Mallorcan recipes such as Mallorcan soup, sobrasada, or robiols.
In season, don’t miss: the Squid Festival (autumn) in Ca’n Picafort and the Almond Fair (late summer) in Santa Margalida, two events that combine local products, tradition, and the best Mallorcan atmosphere.
Conclusion
With the new camper spot in Son Serra de Marina, traveling through Santa Margalida is easier and more authentic than ever. You’re just steps away from virgin beaches, rural paths, local history, and great gastronomy.
