I ate the popular gelato in Mallorca

🍨 Gelateria La Romana: Palma’s Sweet Secret (With Euro-Friendly Prices!) If you’ve traveled across Europe, you’ve probably heard of Gelateria La Romana—it’s a sensation for good reason. So when we spotted a location in Palma, we knew we had to stop. Spoiler: It lived up to the hype, and bonus—prices here are cheaper than in most euro zone cities. Score! 💰 📍 Where to Find It Tucked in Plaça de la Porta Pintada, it’s steps from the bus station 🚌 (perfect for post-trip cravings) and just a short walk from Palma’s city center. Whether you’re exploring old town streets or hopping off a bus, this spot is easy to squeeze into your itinerary. ⏰ Hours & Pricing Open daily from 1 PM to 10 PM (11 PM on busier nights), it’s ready for your mid-afternoon cool-down or post-dinner dessert run. The portions? Generous. Prices? A steal: Small: €3.80 Medium: €4.80 Large: €5.80 Extra large: €7 No need to skip on size here—you’ll get your money’s worth. 🍦 The Flavors (and the Secret Cone Hack) Let’s talk taste. Their gelato is creamy, dense, and packed with flavor—no watery shortcuts here. The classics shine brightest: Pistachio: Nutty, rich, and not too sweet—like biting into a fresh, buttery pistachio. Chocolate: Deep, dark, and indulgent—pure cocoa bliss that lingers in the best way. But the real star? The cone. Skip the cup—they drizzle a thick, glossy chocolate sauce inside the cone before adding the gelato. As it sits, the sauce hardens into a crispy, sweet shell that contrasts perfectly with the creamy ice cream. It’s a tiny detail, but it elevates the whole experience. 🍫 ☀️ Why It Works in Palma Palma’s sun can be intense, and there’s nothing better than a cold, creamy gelato to beat the heat. Whether you’re strolling back from the beach, exploring the cathedral, or just window-shopping in old town, this spot fits seamlessly into any day. We grabbed a medium (split between two of us—though we could’ve easily finished one each) and sat on a nearby bench, savoring every bite. It’s the kind of simple pleasure that makes travel feel special. Gelateria La Romana isn’t just a chain—it’s a masterclass in great gelato. Palma’s location? A must-visit. Go early, go late, go for the large—you won’t regret it. #PalmaGelato #EuroFriendlyEats #SweetEscape #ItalianTreats #TravelDesserts #MallorcaSweets
