Tour description

Palma is a city that looks out to the sea, that has lived, lives, and will continue to live off the sea. It's part of its essence, and the maritime influence has been reflected in its history , architecture, and legends of corsairs, pirates, and sailors for centuries. Would you like to discover them?


Come enjoy and learn a little about this maritime Palma, so unknown to many of us. We'll talk about the city's different seafaring neighborhoods , the activities of the corsairs, and learn about some of the most illustrious and their stories. Our captain , Antonio Barceló, is arguably the most important navigator in the history of Mallorca. A corsair in his early days , he eventually became captain general of the Spanish Navy.


Of course, you'll also discover curious stories about the merchants and their iconic landmark, the Lonja de Mallorca, built by Guillem Sagrera.


We can't forget the fishermen. The most humble but absolutely transcendental activity in the maritime history not only of Palma but also of all of Mallorca.

We will visit the following places of interest;

  • Puig de San Pedro neighborhood
  • Santa Catalina neighborhood and Jonquet
  • Church of San Telmo
  • Church of Santa Creu
  • Shipyard Square
  • The old fish market of Mallorca
  • Almudaina Palace
  • Mallorca Cathedral
  • Prince's Bulwark

Come discover this unknown side of our city!
