WHAT YOU VISIT
Walking tour with Tapas and Sweets
One of the best ways to get to know this city is on foot, and this five-hour walking tour will satisfy history buffs, gourmands and inquisitive travelers alike. Your shuttle stops in the heart of Palma de Mallorca, where you'll follow your guide along the narrow cobblestone streets past iconic sites such as the beautiful La Lonja de Palma. Another can't-miss site is the Consolat de Mar, which houses the Presidency of the Balearic government. Continue towards the impressive Es Baluard military fortress, offering wonderful views over the harbor.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
The Old Quarter is brimming with medieval masterpieces such as the beautiful La Lonja de Palma. Built between 1420 and 1452, the Gothic building once served as the maritime trade exchange and today, a renowned cultural venue. The 16th century Consolat de Mar is a late-Renaissance building that stands as a key landmark of Mallorca's maritime history. Es Baluard was erected from 1575 to the 1640s as part of the Renaissance walls surrounding Palma to defend against pirate attacks.
TAPAS
Rooted in Spanish tradition, tapas evolved from 18th century tavern snacks into a vibrant culinary staple, combining local Mallorcan ingredients with Mediterranean flair. Three carefully selected venues offer a variety of treats with a final tasting of pastry and hot chocolate or ice cream. On the menu are a variety of local favorites to share including Spanish omelet; garlic mushrooms; "patatas bravas" (crispy fried potatoes served with a spicy sauce); and a vegetable and tuna tapas known as "ensaladilla Rusa" salad; all served with a refreshment of beer, wine or mineral water.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Amid the narrow lanes of the Old Quarter, you'll find the breathtaking La Seu, also known as the Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca. Built between 1230 and completed in 1601, the Gothic cathedral boasts large towers, dramatic stained-glass windows, mythical gargoyles and a bell tower with nine huge bells. Next to La Seu sits Almudaina Palace. Constructed as a Moorish fort in the 13th century, it was claimed as an official royal residence during the reign of James I in the 14th century.
