What to expect
Your guide meets you in Palma's Old Town and walks you through narrow streets, pointing out the city's development across centuries. You'll hear how the Cathedral evolved through deliberate interventions rather than accident—from Victorian-era facade work through Gaudí's sweeping interior reimagining to Barceló's bold modern addition. Inside, you'll examine each layer firsthand. The pace is relaxed over 2.5 hours, with pauses to absorb each space. Afterwards, you'll sit down with a traditional pastry, giving your feet a rest and your palate a taste of Mallorcan tradition.
