Guests visiting the CO CA TO NE TA pop-up can choose from a range of exclusively created cocas including Fried carrot, fennel and ‘butifarrón’, Octopus with onions and Suckling pig with apricot sauce.

Maria Solivellas comments: “I am so excited to have partnered with Sant Francesc Hotel Singular to bring a taste of my restaurant to the heart of Palma this summer. I am honoured to share my seasonal Mallorcan menu with visitors of the pop-up and to work alongside the amazing hotel team at this dream outdoor location.
