Can Coques
About
Can Coques, on Mallorca, is a café on Carrer de Sor Francinaina Cirer, 21, 07140 Sencelles, in the island's interior. First-time visitors should expect a village setting rather than a coastal one, with the pace of a small town around it. The café carries a 4.4 out of 5 rating drawn from 221 reviews, a healthy tally for a place of its size. Sencelles sits inland from Palma, so reaching it means a drive rather than a stroll from the beach resorts.
The 221 reviews and the 4.4 rating point to steady local custom as much as passing trade, and the café serves the everyday needs of Sencelles and the surrounding countryside. Palma lies to the south-west along the road network, while Alcúdia and Port d'Alcúdia sit to the north. Cala d'Or, Cala Millor and Puerto Pollença are all on the island but further out, making a car the practical option. The village itself lies among almond groves and farmland typical of Mallorca's centre.
Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca each have their own airports, and Formentera is reached by ferry from Ibiza, so arriving on the island is straightforward before the drive inland. Village festes, processions and open-air dances fill the summer calendar in places like Sencelles, giving a reason to time a visit around local celebrations. The tramuntana, a cold north wind, blows strongly at times in winter and spring, so a jacket helps outside the summer months.
Catalan is one of the languages spoken across the Balearics, and it appears on signs and menus alongside the island's other official tongue. The interior around Sencelles rewards those who leave the coast and drive inland through the island's quieter roads.
