A Walk Around Old Palma
-
Mid-Morning
This circular walk takes two to four hours and starts in Plaça Joan Carles I, just at the top of the Passeig des Born. From here, walk east on La Unió to Plaça Weyler, where you can buy pastries at the Forn des Teatre and see the exhibitions in the Gran Hotel.
Climb the steps to the right of the Teatre Principal until you get to Plaça Major. In this beautiful arcaded square, you’ll see street artists and performers, and you can stop for a drink in one of the cafés.
Come out of the Plaça along Carrer Sant Miquel. Stop at the Museu d’Art Espanyol Contemporani (see Museu d’Art Espanyol Contemporani, Fundació March) and the charming Església de Sant Miquel.
Now double back through Plaça Major to view the façades of L’Aquila and Can Rei (see L’Aquila/Can Rei). Go down Carrer Argenteria to visit the Església de Santa Eulalia , and then Carrer Morey to take in Ca N’Oleza .
Late Morning
Continue on Carrer Mira-mar, past glorious Palacio Ca Sa Galesa hotel (see Palacio Ca Sa Galesa, Palma), to exit at the broad seawall, where you can look up at the Cathedral (see Sa Seu: Palma Cathedral).
Visit the cathedral and the Palau de l’Almudaina , then go down to the S’Hort del Rei gardens (see S’Hort del Rei, Palma). Finally, stroll up the Born and have a snack at Bar Bosch on the square where you started, or head to a restaurant for a more substantial lunch (see Places to Eat).
