About this tour
This session goes behind the street front of Palma's old town, into courtyards normally closed to the public and past buildings most visitors walk straight by. You see the Portal del Mirador, the Banys Àrabs and the Modernist facades of Can Rei. It is the old town read through its doorways rather than its main squares.
The guide opens with a sound check, then moves courtyard to courtyard, explaining who lived where and why. Questions come in as the walk goes, and a short list of the addresses follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who has walked Palma's old town before and wants what lies behind the doors. It also suits viewers planning a first visit who want more than the cathedral square.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
