Palma de Mallorca: Foodie Walking Tour of the Old Town

What do we do on this tour?

One of the best ways to truly understand Palma is through its food. On this foodie walking tour, we explore the Old Town at a relaxed pace, combining cultural insights with carefully selected tastings of traditional Mallorcan products.

We follow a thoughtfully designed route that avoids the busiest tourist streets, allowing you to discover authentic corners, local food spots and hidden gems. Along the way, your guide will explain how Mallorca’s history, traditions and local lifestyle have shaped its unique cuisine.

The itinerary may vary slightly depending on group size to ensure a personal and enjoyable experience, but the focus is always the same: real Palma, real flavours, and a genuine connection with the city.

During the tour, we stop at several iconic and lesser-known gastronomic spots, including:

• Visit to the Santa Clara Convent to taste handmade cookies prepared by the nuns

• Tasting traditional Mallorcan panadas and sobrasada

• A tapas stop at a local venue (location may vary)

• Sweet finale with almond ice cream and ensaimada at the legendary Can Joan de S’Aigo

To end the experience, we stop at the ancient olive tree in front of the Town Hall in Plaça de Cort — the perfect place for a group photo and a memorable finish to your food tour.
