Outdoor barbecues in Mallorca

At Smarthome, your boutique real estate agency in the center of Palma, in the prestigious Borne area, we know that living in Mallorca is not just about owning a luxury home, it's about enjoying all that the island has to offer. One of the most popular traditions here is the outdoor torradas, perfect for those looking for an active social life in a natural setting. In this article we will tell you why torradas in Mallorca are the perfect activity and how they can be an added bonus for those looking to buy a home on our beloved island.

The tradition of torradas in Mallorca

Mallorca has a long tradition of torradas, or outdoor barbecues, especially during local fiestas. Whether in the countryside, on the beach or on your own terrace overlooking the sea, these gatherings reflect the essence of Mallorcan life. Torradas are not only a way to enjoy delicious grilled meats, fish and vegetables, but also an opportunity to socialize and enjoy the good weather.


Places to organize your Torrada

One of the attractions of living in a property in Palma is the easy access to a wide variety of spaces where you can enjoy an outdoor torrada. Be sure to choose areas where torradas are allowed, such as:

  • Monasteri de Lluc recreational area: Located between Ca s'Amitger and Font Coberta, this is an ideal place to make a torrada and enjoy nature. It has tables and fireplaces for your use.
  • Picnic area at the Son Roig estate: This area allows barbecues and is perfect for a family day out.
  • Recreational area in Alaró: Here you will find tables and fireplaces, ideal for a good torrada (barbecue) in a natural setting

Remember that torradas are allowed in these areas outside the fire season, which runs from October 16th to April 30th.




Tips for organizing a successful torrada

In order to organize a successful Torrada, we suggest that you follow some important tips:

  • Choose the right venue: Consider whether you prefer a natural setting or if your home in Mallorca has a patio or garden to do it in the comfort of your own home.
  • Prepare a variety of local foods: The secret of a good torrada is the quality of the ingredients. Choose fresh meat, fish from the bay and vegetables from local markets.
  • Consider the weather: Mallorca enjoys a Mediterranean climate that is ideal for outdoor activities most of the year. However, be sure to check the weather forecast to avoid any surprises.
