One of the best ways to learn about the history and culture of a place is through its gastronomy. That’s why we’ve created this food-focused walking tour around Palma, combining local flavours with cultural discovery.
We’ll take a relaxed route through the Old Town, avoiding the busiest tourist areas, and stopping at handpicked locations to taste Mallorca’s most traditional products. The itinerary adapts slightly depending on the size of the group to ensure a more personal experience, offering a genuine look at local life through its food, history and everyday corners of the city.
During the itinerary we will visit some of the most interesting spots of Palma, where we will make different stops. We will also visit some of the little-known places related to gastronomy in Palma:
-
Visit the Santa Clara Convent and taste the nuns' handmade cookies.
-
Sample traditional Mallorcan empanadas and sobrasada.
-
Enjoy a tapas experience at a local venue (location varies depending on group size).
-
Try the classic almond ice cream with ensaimada at Can Joan de S’Aigo, one of Palma's gastronomic institutions.
And to end our guided walk, we will visit the ancient olive tree in front of the Town Hall in Plaça de Cort, where we take a group photo to wrap up the experience.
Palma Food Tour Reviews
I arranged this experience for clients who wanted to discover Palma through its food and culture. They particularly enjoyed the variety of tastings, from the traditional empanadas and sobrasada to the almond ice cream and ensaimada at Can Joan de S’Aigo. The visit to Mercat de l’Olivar was another highlight. They came away with a much better understanding of Mallorcan gastronomy and were very pleased with the experience.
We had already visited Palma before, but this tour showed us a different side of the city. Walking through the Old Town and stopping to taste traditional Mallorcan food was a lovely combination. The group was small, the pace was comfortable and our guide shared lots of interesting information. We particularly enjoyed the visit to Santa Clara Convent and the final stop at Can Joan de S’Aigo.
The visit to Mercat de l’Olivar was probably my favourite part. It was interesting to see the market and get a feel for everyday life in Palma. The food stops were great too, especially the local tapas. A relaxed and enjoyable way to explore the city.
Really enjoyable tour. Good food, interesting places and a friendly guide. Unfortunately my wife is gluten free, but they accomodated her and she still enjoyed it just as much as me! Also, the ice cream and ensaimada at the end were excellent, amazing quality and fresh.
Our guide Juan was very knowledgeable and made the history so easy to follow. I liked how the tour connected the food with the culture of the city. We discovered some lovely parts of the Old Town and enjoyed trying the different specialities along the way.
The visit to Santa Clara Convent was such a lovely experience. We also enjoyed trying the sobrasada and empanadas. But the almond ice cream with ensaimada was definitely my favourite. Delicious!
Really nice food tour in Palma. Small group, relaxed pace and authentic Mallorcan flavours. Ideal for food lovers and first-time visitors.
A very enjoyable Palma food tour with excellent local tastings. Well organised, friendly guide and a nice mix of history, walking and food. Great way to experience the city.
We absolutely loved this Palma food tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The small group size made the experience feel very personal, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable about both Mallorcan food and Palma’s history. We discovered hidden corners of the Old Town that we would never have found on our own, while tasting a great variety of local products along the way. The convent sweets, traditional empanadas and the final stop for ensaimada and almond ice cream were definite highlights. It felt like a perfect balance between sightseeing and food, and a fantastic introduction to Palma’s culture.
Really enjoyed the tour with Joan - great mix of history and local knowledge with tasting Mallorcan food specialities. All done with great humour and enthusiasm. Great get your bearings of old Palma.
