After a short flight with RyanAir, we arrived at our charming guest house, Es Pascolet, in Inca. With its warm hospitality, spacious rooms, cozy patio, and outdoor pool, it was the perfect base for our Mallorcan adventure. The guest house’s serene atmosphere and picturesque surroundings instantly made us feel at home.

We highly recommend visiting the famous Valdemossa Monastery and indulging in some local delicacies at the charming cafés.

The underground formations, crystal-clear lakes, and captivating light shows made it a truly unforgettable experience. We recommend booking a guided tour to fully appreciate the beauty and history of these natural wonders.

For a memorable dining experience with a breathtaking view, we visited Puig de Santa Magdalena. Nestled on a hilltop, this restaurant offered not only delicious Mallorcan cuisine but also panoramic vistas of the island.
Day 7: Suro, Inca – A Gastronomic Gem
Our stay in Inca wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Suro. From traditional Mallorcan recipes to modern twists on Mediterranean cuisine, Suro is a must-visit for food enthusiasts.
Celebrating Milestones in Mallorca
During our 7-day stay in Mallorca, we had the privilege of celebrating two special milestones – my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary and our daughter’s first birthday. To make these occasions even more memorable, we ordered some sweet treats from a delightful bakery called Cate Cake in Inca.
We were impressed by the bakery’s attention to detail and the personalized designs they created for our special occasions. The beautiful cake and cookies made our celebrations truly unforgettable.
Cate Cake exceeded our expectations and left us with a lasting impression. We highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking to add a touch of sweetness to their special moments in Mallorca.
Celebrating amidst the beauty of this island made our trip even more memorable and created memories that will be treasured for years to come.
