South African’s love their meat, so if you are ever wondering what to cook, you know it’s going to be something meaty. And a Potjiekos is a traditional South African stew that literally means ‘small-pot-food’, which is slow-cooked in a cast iron pot over an open flame. To make this Saucy Oxtail stew recipe, all you need is onions, oil, flour, salt and pepper, oxtail, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, carrots, potatoes, and oxtail soup powder. You do not need to add much oil while cooking as the tail meat pieces are quite fatty.

As Torrent de Pareis is in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range it is often home to flash floods as it collects a large amount of rainwater that falls on the mountain and funnels it down this narrow valley. If you wish to hike down the valley you start at a place called Escorca, which is on the Ma-10 that connects Pollensa with Soller along the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. To access this end of the Torrent you would continue on the Ma-10 towards Soller from Escorca and when the road splits in two, follow it to the right onto the Ma-2141 towards Sa Calobra. It is easier to trek up the torrent from Sa Calobra to Escorca but you need at least 2 able, confident climbers to get up and hook the rope at the top for the less able climbers to use.
