More photos from Majorca. Can you guess the theme?

Hope this makes you hungry and thirsty!





A small selection of Spanish wines in the supermercado....note the prices, some as low as 2.35 euros, and we bought wines for 1 euro and they were awesome. I might be relocating!













Hundreds of legs of jamon in the supermercado.


Olives of every description, along with garlic, anchovies, capers and cornichons are available at the farmers' markets in Pollenca and Port a Pollenca each week. Did I mention relocating??










This picturesque fellow is the head butcher at the farmers' market. He selects and slices the huge legs of jamon and suggests the best sobrasessa, a local sausage made only in Majorca. Never argue with a guy who looks like this and wields a really, really big knife!













Beautiful fruits and vegetables grown on local farms fill the markets. We really enjoyed the variety and the intense flavors of the grapes, tomatoes, melons, herbs and peaches. I'll be sending my new address......
