H3: Mysterious Palma
If you want to discover the most mysterious side of Palma, then why not take in one of the free tours that leave from the Plaza Mayor as evening falls?
You'll get to know the city in a more relaxed and uncrowded way, on a trip full of legends and stories that have been enriched by the popular imagination over the centuries.
The visit ends in the streets of the Jewish quarter, the ideal way to reach the city walls and the Cathedral area, which has been converted into a magnificent location for watching the sunset.
Palma was an important medieval city and, as such, had its own Jewish quarter.
In fact, the Jewish quarter of Palma, known as "Call Maior", was a kind of independent, walled city with its own entrances.
As well as visiting places like the Plaza de Cort (next to the emblematic Olivera de Cort), you can also see the Maimó Ben Faraig Centre, the Museum of Mallorca (where you can see preserved archaeological remains from the Jewish period), Can Dusai street, the church of Montesión (where the original main synagogue was located) and the stairs of the Costa del Teatre. This itinerary will reveal stories, anecdotes and curiosities about Palma's Jewish community and its importance on a cultural, gastronomic, and social level.
We really love this idea because it's such a fun activity to do in groups.
If this is your first time on a Segway, we recommend you take a tour of the historical old town of Palma.
The route, which is just over five kilometres long, will take you to the Parque del Mar, the Dalt Murada, the Arab Baths, the Cathedral, the Almudaina Palace, the Church of Santa Eulalia, the Plaza Mayor, the Patios Mallorquines and the Es Baluard Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.
If you're experienced with this type of vehicle, then why not complete your guided tour of Palma by taking a trip along the Paseo Marítimo, the Portixol area, or the Playa de Palma beach?
