3.Palma’s Alternative History: A Self-Guided Audio Walk

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 18 reviews · 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $9Best value

Follow Sandra, a longtime Palma resident, on a self-guided audio walk from Parc de la Mar to Plaça de Cort. You’ll hear stories of Talayotic Mallorca, royal power, the Inquisition, churches, courtyards, and old bars. The VoiceMap app works offline, but it can use substantial battery.

“If you have little time on a first visit to Palma, this is an excellent resource and interesting exploration of the historical center. I would definitely recommend. I really enjoyed the highlights by the guide. The only limitation is relocating oneself if you find yourself getting off track..An improvement would be to link somehow with GMaps”
