Historic Highlights Tour with Jewish Majorca in Palma

Palma, the vibrant capital of Mallorca in Spain’s Balearic Islands, pulses with centuries of layered history, culture, and coastal charm. Among its winding streets and tucked-away corners lies Jewish Majorca, a company offering an intimate glimpse into the city’s deep Jewish heritage through their Highlights Tour. This private guided experience weaves together Palma’s architectural pride and its overlooked medieval narratives, inviting visitors to walk beyond the usual paths.

The tour’s route threads through Palma’s bustling city center with stops like the statue of Jafuda ben Cresques, a nod to the illustrious cartographer who helped shape medieval navigation. Along Leather Maker Street, visitors can almost hear the whispers of artisan craftsmen from centuries past. The journey continues at Montesion Church, where historical layers reveal the complex coexistence of faiths and cultures on the island. One of the standout moments is a visit to the House of a medieval merchant, grounding the visit in the everyday life of Jewish families living in Palma hundreds of years ago.

Jewish Majorca uniquely fills a gap in Mallorca’s outdoor and cultural scene, merging urban walking with immersive storytelling. Unlike traditional outdoor adventures that focus on natural landscapes, this tour embraces the city itself as terrain, rich with material history and the memories etched into stone and street. It’s a specially curated experience for travelers drawn to history, cultural identity, and the quiet thrill of uncovering forgotten tales amid sunlit alleys.

This tour not only deepens your understanding of Palma’s past but also celebrates the resilience and contributions of its Jewish community—a perspective less frequently illuminated in the Mediterranean travel circuit. By connecting historical dots through guided interpretation, Jewish Majorca adds a meaningful layer to Mallorca’s adventurous offerings, inviting visitors to engage with the city’s soul and the stories it holds, just a few steps from the shimmering sea.
