Free Tour Curiosities of Palma
Tour description
Do you think you know Palma? Let me show you that the city has a "B Side" full of hidden messages, forgotten controversies, and details that many people overlook.
This is not a tour of boring dates and kings. It's a journey to decipher the stones of the old town.
📍 What we are going to discover:
🥶 La Lonja: We start with a Gothic enigma. I'll show you the city's "coldest" gargoyle (yes, it's wearing clothes) and the secret of the Virgin of the Frog.
⚓ Parque del Mar: We'll descend to the exact place where the city was born to understand how the sea battered the walls.
🦁 Paseo del Borne: Did you know that some sphinxes caused a social scandal? We'll discover the strange head that watches over the promenade and the reason for its controversy.
⛪ The Cathedral (La Seu): Forget the postcards. We'll talk about the secrets of its bell tower and some mysterious stone balls that hide a story that will surprise you.
🕍 The Major Jewish Quarter: We'll delve into the silence of Monti-Sión to trace the footprints of the old synagogue.
⚡ San Francisco: A love story between young people that ended in the most tragic way, a Virgin of the Lightning, and a tombstone that shouldn't be there.
⏳ Santa Eulalia: The scene of multiple public executions, a cross with a dark past, and a mysterious one-handed clock.
🐌 Town Hall: We'll finish by looking for the most famous "inhabitants" of the facade: the snail and the lizard. Do you know why they're there?
