Free Tour of the History, Secrets & Walls of Palma
♡ Save


Discover the rich history, fascinating legends, and intriguing curiosities of the medieval capital of Mallorca. Immerse yourself in the stories of how people lived during the Middle Ages. This free tour is bound to captivate you from start to finish.
Have you ever felt that stones tell stories? Come and discover Palma from a privileged perspective: its walls. A magical walk as the sun begins to set over the bay, revealing hidden corners, legends that make your skin tingle and curiosities that you won't find in conventional guidebooks.
Our journey begins at Es Baluard, the imposing bastion of San Pedro that guarded the western part of the city. From there, we will follow the trail of the ancient Muslim walls, crossing the majestic Lonja — Palma's first great civic pride — and losing ourselves in the elegance of S'hort del Rei, at the foot of the Almudaina Palace. But the real treasure awaits in the shadows of La Calatrava: a labyrinth of history where we'll visit the Arab Baths, the mysticism of the Convent of Santa Clara, and the soul of the Jewish Quarter. We will end our adventure at the Baluarte del Príncipe, guarding the east, and at the legendary Towers of Gumara, a direct legacy of the Knights Templar.
THE DEFINITIVE TOUR: 16 stops, centuries of history. If you are looking for a unique route, this is the one for you. From west to east, we will explore the heart of Palma.
