Spanish term or phrase: horno
The sentence below refers to Mallorca:

Además de deleitarse con sus hornos, cafeterías y restaurantes, hay que dejarse llevar por la inmensa y variada oferta cultural que ofrece.

Does 'hornos' really mean ovens/furnaces in this context? Is there any other meaning? I am only doubtful because of its use alongside 'cafes' and 'restaurants'.

Many thanks

Comment


Explanation:
They are probably referring to bakeries, like my colleagues have already mentioned, considering the rest of the sentence. Mallorca is famous for their ensaimadas, a weakness of mine, they are delicious! But, they are also well known for their mouth blown glass, another context where hornos takes a whole different meaning.

neutral  Sheilann: But here they're referring to things to eat!! I think they'd be more specific if they referred to glass

  -> That's why I started by saying "they are probably referring to bakeries". This is just additional information. Thanks - teju ;)
