WHAT YOU VISIT
Old Town, Palma Cathedral and Local Market
This Palma wheelchair-accessible shore excursion offers a wonderful overview of the charming Old Town of Palma. Your tour begins when you meet your guide and board the accessible van at the Palma cruise dock. After disembarking at Mercat de O'livar, you'll have time to browse the local fruit, meat and seafood market and artisan stalls before continuing along the Carrer de Sant Miguel shopping street to Placa Mayor, known for its beautiful architecture. Nearby, in the charming Placa de Cort square, stands the 600-year-old "Olivera de Cort" olive tree facing the 17th century Town Hall adorned with a typical Mallorcan-style façade. Your final stop is Palma Cathedral. This magnificent 14th century cathedral known as La Seu is the second largest church in Spain. Using accessible routes, your tour guide will lead you through this spectacular masterpiece which boasts of 61 stained-glass windows, as well as work by Antoni Gaudi and Miguel Barcelo.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
From the colorful markets to the seven-meter-high (22-feet-high) "Olivera de Cort" olive tree to La Seu's flying buttresses and pinnacles, your camera will be working overtime.
SHOPPING
Enjoy some free time in Placa Mayor to purchase some souvenirs. On most days, an open-air market with vendor stalls and several local street artists can be found here.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
It's interesting to note that your route from the pier follows in the way of some of the Mediterranean's greats empires. Due to its strategic location in the middle of the Mediterranean, Mallorca had been the scene of repeated conquests since 1000 B.C. After Christian forces conquered Mallorca in 1229 the island rose in wealth and power.
