The Balearic islands all offer stunning seafood dishes; the King of Spain's favourite restaurant (Es Pla) in Fornells offers wonderful lobster in the form of caldereta de llagosta. Also popular are beef, mutton and pork, with special combinations of sweet and sour elements in the same dish plus vegetable and pulses. Cold meats and sausages made from port, are also special to the Balearics, the most famous being sobrasada. Pastries are also important; normally based on almonds (which are grown on the islands). Olives and figs are common too, including a wide variety of unusual stuffed olives.

The Balearics produce a large number of aromatice liquers, known commonly as herbes. Menorca also has its own gin factory producing traditional 'London' gin at Xoriguer and local cheese known as Mahon

The islanders also make beautiful shoes at very competitive price. The Menorcans also make some unique sandals called alvarcas.

The islands are also famed for pearls, the best selection available in Mallorca.

Traditional Spanish pottery is available everywhere, as is the collectable Spanish Lladro china.

The islands are also famous for their watersport facilities due to the Mediterranean's crystal clear warm sea.
