About this experience
This experience combines Palma Old Town, a local market visit, and a relaxed food & wine tasting in one smooth walking tour. It’s designed as a perfect introduction to the city, especially at the beginning of your stay.
Unlike large or rushed food tours, this experience is chill, unhurried, and people-focused. You walk at an easy pace, explore real local areas, and take time to understand Palma rather than rushing from stop to stop.
The market visit adds real value: you learn how locals choose wine, ham, and cheese, and why these products are so important in everyday Majorcan life. The tasting is done seated, in a friendly atmosphere, with explanations — not just consumption.
Led by a knowledgeable local guide, the tour mixes culture, food, and practical tips, helping you avoid tourist traps and enjoy Palma like a local. It’s not a pub crawl or a heavy meal, but a balanced, authentic experience combining walking, market life, and local flavors.
