Mallorca, region of master artisans

The handicraft tradition of Mallorca is rich in variety and products. Some products have become iconic symbols of the island, such as leather goods and shoes, the so-called “teles de llengües” (tongue-patterned cloth) or the siurell, a white clay figure painted in green and red stripes. It is without doubt the most popular souvenir of the island.
