Forn Ca’n Alba

Juan Francisco Alba Llaneras opened the Can Alba bakery in 1931 and gave it the family surname. The current owner, Joan Alba, has been running the bakery since 1996, when his father, Nofre Alba, retired. In 2024, Àngela, Joan’s daughter, joined the bakery to continue the family tradition.

When Joan took over, the bakery only sold bread, and he decided to expand this offer with empanadas (panades), of which there are a dozen types, rubiols, cocas de tallades, cocarrois, etc. In the old days, people came from other towns to get bread, especially many shoemakers who were from abroad but worked in Inca. In addition, they offer seasonal products or for different festivities. The bakery had a wood-fired oven, which Joan tried to maintain when he took over the business, although it was impossible because its upkeep was very expensive and he was unable to do so with the products he sold.

The shop is a member of the quality label Pa d’aquí, forn i tradició, which identifies establishments with a baker’s oven where the different varieties of traditional bread from the Balearic Islands are made by hand.
