In her home, which has now been converted into a chapel, there is a tile at the entrance that represents a scene from the life of Mallorca's first saint.

Pass By: Passeig Marítim, Pg. Marítim, Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

We will now have arrived in central Palma de Mallorca with our guide, and it´s time to enjoy a leisurely stroll to the ‘monumental area’ where many of the city’s sights can be seen. We will start with a panoramic tour along Palma Marina, taking in the glorius views of Palmas busy harbour.

Pass By: Catedral de Mallorca, Placa la Seu s/n, 07001 Palma de Mallorca, Majorca Spain

Stop for photos outside Palma Cathedral (La Seu), and hear how the Roman Catholic place of worship was built on the site of an old Arabian mosque. Then, head inside to admire its circular, stained-glass windows and Gaudi-designed features. The colorful, and often controversial, Modernist artist left his mark on the site, and his eye-catching altarpiece is thought to be the cathedral’s highlight.

A palace that reflects the artistic styles that have followed one another throughout the island's history.

Some of the most outstanding elements on its façade are the balcony with seven large windows, the Rellotge d'en Figuera (Figuera Clock) and the Banc del si no fos (Bank of if you don't miss it).

The building itself was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument belonging to the National Artistic Treasure by decree of 3 June 1931.

Pass By: S'Olivera, Plaça de Cort, 5, Distrito Centro, 07001 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

While you´re taking in the breathtaking views of Palma Old Town and the historic architecture, keep an eye out for The Cort olive tree! This unique tree, known as the Olivera de Cort, was planted in 1999 from Tramuntana mountain range, as a symbol of peace and rootedness to the land. The Cort Olive Tree is located in the middle of the square, right in front of the town hall. Despite the move and its age, it continues to bear fruit every year.

Katharina was an excellent tour guide. She was very energetic, flexible and personable. While others wanted to have lunch, she took us around Palma de Mallorca to see additional sites. Valldemossa was a nice town (views, shopping) and worth the trip.

Peter and Maria are truly the dream team! Maria was perfectly prompt, warmly welcoming and drove us everywhere safely and efficiently. Peter gave one of the best tours we’ve ever had; he brings his witty, warm and kind English demeanor to his thorough, efficient, well-researched, fun and enlightening tour of Mallorca. He is as well versed in the history and culture of Mallorca as a local would be and he points out countless details throughout the walking tour that leave you feeling well versed and well acquainted with Mallorca. His tour guide etiquette (considering shade, bathroom breaks, walking pace, logistics/timing of the tour, etc) is absolutely stellar! We couldn’t recommend this dream team highly enough!!
