A real estate agency in Sóller has one of the most unique properties in the town for sale. It is the birthplace of the poet, playwright, and translator from Sóller, Guillem Colom (Sóller, Mallorca, 1890 - Palma, 1979), which is being sold for 1.5 million euros and is located in the very center of the municipality, just a few minutes from the Town Hall square. The property, which requires renovation to adapt it to new uses, retains dimensions and features that make it an especially unique property within the town center of Sóller.

It's only been a month since my friend Henry got his place, a rental apartment in Palma, and it has already become our Holy See: the meeting point, the safe space for the whole group. Maybe not the rest, but I knew from the start that it would be; it was enough for me to see how just two restored chairs and curtains fluttering in front of the stained glass window became a home. And deciding, at the last moment, to go there to watch the World Cup final confirmed it, like a revelation, just as spontaneous acts do. It seems we had needed this for a long time, a sanctuary for our sorrows and joys. A place that welcomes us, spontaneously, where we can relax and be the only thing we want to be: friends.

The oldest trace of Mallorcan recipes is not found in cookbooks, but in books on law, morality, agriculture, medicine, and pharmacology. In moral literature, recipes serve to teach how to live well and correct vices. Moral recipes often appear in sermons, religious teachings, and didactic works in which culinary language is used as a metaphor.
