What to expect
Your guide meets you in Palma's quieter neighbourhoods, steering clear of cathedral crowds. Expect cobbled streets and stone buildings that reveal their age honestly—no restoration gloss. You'll pause in small squares where the tanner quarter's medieval structure becomes visible, understanding the geography of a working trade. The Jewish quarter section covers residential spaces, passages, and sites tied to that community's presence. Walking pace is leisurely, with time to absorb details and ask questions. Tastings happen at relevant stops—nothing fancy, just what locals eat.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for uneven medieval surfaces. The walk suits all fitness levels but involves standing and slow walking. Minimum drinking age for any wine tastings is 18. Prams and infant seats available on request. Public transport nearby if you need to arrive by bus.
