What to expect
Expect a steady pace through Palma's compact medieval centre, with your guide stopping frequently to point out doorways, inscriptions and building details that reveal different occupants across centuries. They'll sketch the political and religious shifts that shaped the city, weaving in lesser-known stories—the kind you won't find in guidebooks. The walk covers ground but isn't rushed; prams are manageable on most streets. You'll finish with a clearer sense of how Romans, Muslims, Jews and Christians all left their mark on one small Mediterranean city.
