About this tour
This session climbs the hillside below Bellver Castle to catch the bay at sunset from a spot I have known my whole life. You see the pine path near the top and the wide view of the bay from the summit clearing. The light changes fast at this hour, so no two sessions look quite the same.
We time the climb so we reach the top with enough light left to settle in before the colours change. I keep the phone steady on the horizon rather than moving around too much during the best minutes. Afterwards I answer any questions while the light finishes fading.
This suits anyone who wants a calm, visual close to their day rather than a busy tour. It also works well paired with the woods session for a fuller sense of the hill.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Palma de Mallorca before heading out.
-
Hillside path 21 min
We climb the path I used to take home from school, through pines that thin out near the top. I point out how the bay changes colour as the sun drops, different every evening depending on the haze.
-
Summit clearing 21 min
From the clearing you see the whole bay laid out below the castle walls. I explain which direction the light comes from in different seasons and why some evenings are better than others for this exact view.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Palma de Mallorca: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Ensaimada and Santa Catalina, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
