We'll kick off our free tour of Palma de Mallorca at the old Fish Market. From this bustling hub of the Balearic capital, we’ll embark on a journey to explore the rich history and cultural tapestry of the city, revealing the influences of Romans, Muslims, Jews, and Christians on its monumental heritage.
