Tour Overview
At the pre-arranged time, we will pick you up from your accommodation and commence our exclusive exploration of Palma de Mallorca. Prepare for a personal and enriching journey through the Balearic Islands' capital that is sure to captivate you!
Our adventure begins with a dive into the architectural splendor of Palma’s historic center. We will first make our way to Plaza de España, where we can admire the striking equestrian statue of King James I, a pivotal figure in the city’s past.
As we wander through the charming streets, we will arrive at Mercado de l’Olivar, an ideal spot to immerse yourself in the flavors of Balearic gastronomy. Passing through the market's vibrant stalls displaying ensaimadas, sobrasada, and fresh seafood, we will then visit Basilica of San Miguel, known for being one of the oldest and most significant churches in Palma de Mallorca.
Nearby, we will find ourselves at Plaza Mayor, the bustling heart of the city’s shopping scene. You'll be charmed by the array of traditional shops, cafés, and lively street performers that populate this vibrant area. Our next highlight is Can Forteza Rey, a distinctive Modernist masterpiece whose Gaudí-inspired and Art Nouveau façade is sure to fascinate you.
Continuing our stroll, we will approach Can Corbella, notable for its pre-Modernist and Neo-Mudejar architecture, showcasing the rich cultural influences that are woven throughout the capital. We will also pass by the historic Town Hall, located in an area that once formed part of Palma’s Jewish quarter during medieval times. Look closely, and you might still catch glimpses of its historical significance.
Our private tour proceeds to the Church of Santa Eulalia, recognized as a Site of Cultural Interest in the early 20th century. You may find it intriguing to learn that this church stands on the foundations of an ancient mosque and was the coronation site for King James II of Mallorca—there’s much to discover!
As we draw near to the majestic Santa María Cathedral, affectionately known as ‘la Seu’, prepare to be awed by its grand façade. Have you ever wondered about the secrets behind its intricately carved gargoyles? The beauty of this Medieval Gothic architectural gem is truly breathtaking!
After approximately 2.5 hours of exploration, we will conclude our journey at this last notable site, bidding farewell.
