You step off the wide boulevard and into an alley where walls hold the city’s memory — a narrow lane that cools you under stone and late-morning light. Voices drift from a small café, and the smell of citrus and frying oil mixes with the faint tang of old leather. This is Palma’s quieter side: the hidden Jewish quarter behind the cathedral and the tanners’ lanes where craftsmen once worked near channels of running water.
