About this tour
This is a planning call about Mallorcan art rather than a live walk through a gallery. I talk through a handful of painters worth knowing and then a shortlist of galleries in the old town that show serious work. You leave with names and context rather than a generic list.
We start with whichever period interests you more, historical or contemporary, and I build the rest of the call around that. I answer questions about specific artists as they come up rather than working through a fixed script. At the end I send over the gallery list with notes on what each one shows.
This suits anyone who wants context before visiting Palma's galleries rather than walking in blind. It also works for collectors curious about which island artists are worth following.

- A 45-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included

Itinerary
-
Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Palma de Mallorca, recommendations, or just questions.
-
Painters to know 15 min
I talk through a handful of Mallorcan painters worth knowing before you look at any local gallery, what period they worked in and what makes their work recognisable. You can ask me to go deeper on any one of them.
-
Galleries worth your time 15 min
I go through a short list of galleries around the old town that show serious work rather than tourist prints, including a couple that represent living island artists. I explain what each one specialises in so you know before you go.
-
Your questions 7 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know
- A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
- No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
- Times are shown in Madrid time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Palma de Mallorca: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.

No. The guide explains what matters as you go, whatever you already know or do not.
