Description

Have you ever felt that stones tell stories? Come and discover Palma from a privileged perspective: its walls. A magical walk when the sun begins to set over the bay, revealing hidden corners, legends that give you goosebumps, and curiosities you won't find in conventional guides. Our journey begins at Es Baluard, the imposing bastion of San Pedro that guarded the west of the city. From there, we will follow the trail of the ancient Muslim walls, crossing the majestic Lonja —the first great civil pride of Palma— and getting lost in the elegance of S'hort del Rei, at the foot of the Almudaina Palace. But the true treasure awaits in the shadows of Calatrava: a labyrinth of history where we will visit the Arab Baths, the mysticism of the Convent of Santa Clara, and the soul of the Jewish Quarter. We will culminate our adventure at the Baluarte del Príncipe, watching over the east, and at the legendary Torres de Gumara, a direct legacy of the Knights Templar. If you are looking for more than just dates and names, this is for you. We combine rigorous history with captivating storytelling, all while enjoying the refreshing sea breeze and the most spectacular panoramic views of Mallorca’s capital. Are you ready to see Palma with different eyes? THE ULTIMATE TOUR: 16 Stops, Centuries of History. If you're looking for a unique route, this is yours. From west to east, we traverse the skin of Palma: Defense and Art: Baluarte de San Pedro. Gothic Splendor: La Lonja and Plaza de Atarazanas. Muslim Roots: Bab al-mudi Gate and the Arab Baths. Royal Power: Almudaina Palace and Cathedral. Mystery and Tradition: Calatrava Quarter, the Jewish Quarter, and the Torres de Gumara. And if you still have energy... we'll take you to the Town Hall and the most iconic basilicas. Are you sure you want to miss it?
