It is often said that knowledge is power, and this is never more accurate than when you establish yourself as a foreign resident in a new country, like Spain. Being able to quickly familiarise yourself with the culture, rules, events, and customs can help ease the transition during a challenging time.
This is why Euro Weekly News makes it our mission to provide you with a free news resource in English that covers both regional and national Spanish news – anything that we feel you will benefit from knowing as you integrate into your new community and live your best life in Spain. In this way, you can forget about translating articles from Spanish into awkward English that probably don’t make much sense. Let us be your convenient and essential guide to all things that will likely affect you as a foreign resident living in Spain.

One of the most iconic spots for breakfast or merienda (afternoon snack) in Palma is Xurrerria Rosaleda.
The arrival of winter is unmistakable when queues begin to form on Calle Costa del Pols. Devotees of delicious chocolate with churros or buñuelos know exactly where to head: the Rosaleda.
The chocolate a la taza is as exquisite as the churros and buñuelos. But there’s no time to linger, others are eagerly waiting for their turn.
The history of this churrería dates back to 1966, when it not only served churros in Palma but also operated street stalls during the summer. These stalls catered to city residents spending their holidays at second homes.
Today, the business is run by Antònia Gelabert, Joan Ferrer, and his son, Xavier Ferrer. In winter, hot chocolate takes centre stage, while in summer, traditional ice creams, almond granita, and sweets like coca de patata and ensaimada steal the show.
However, with the chill in the air and the Christmas lights illuminating Costa de Pols, there’s nothing better than enjoying a good chocolate at the Rosaleda.
