What to expect
You'll meet your guide and begin walking through Palma's old town, stopping to observe the architecture and layout of real neighbourhoods. The pace is deliberately relaxed, giving you time to absorb the surroundings and ask questions.
Midway through, you'll visit a local market—not a tourist version, but where residents actually shop. Your guide will show you how locals choose wine, ham and cheese, explaining why these are staples in Majorcan daily life. You'll then move to a seated area for a tasting of these products, with the guide providing context and flavour notes rather than rushing through samples. The tour wraps up in the late morning, leaving you time to explore further or move on to lunch.
