The Oliver Market Palma

When you're tired of tourist sites and want to meet the people of Palma Instead, head for this covered market It is a feast for the eyes huge piles of oranges, buckets full of olives, slabs of salt cod, fish you never knew existed. Those of a squeamish disposition should avoid the upstairs meat counters, where the pigs and rabbits look like pigs and rabbits rather than sterile pieces of packaged flesh. The market is a good place to buy ham and cheese, or you can stop for tortilla at one of the tapas stalls, where the workers drink brandy with their breakfast coffee.
