After this short introduction you will start a culture and gastronomy discovery of the areas that emerged as the medieval extension of Palma de Mallorca.

Understanding how Mallorca works when it comes to celebrating food can be one of the most revealing experiences of the culture of the island. Mallorquines love their excellent food and they like to make a celebration out of every meal, together with family and friends. Food, conversation, wine, laughter and a magical common feeling of thankfulness combine in perfect harmony around Mallorca tables to make meals memorable.

Tapas play a key role in the wide variety of options that the island has to offer gastronomy-wise. They are small portions of food that people usually have as an appetizer before a meal. However, especially when eating out, a meal can consist of several different tapas and this is exactly what this tour is about.

Your local foodie host will take you on a tapas journey through 2 – 3 selected tapas bars of the city, during which you’ll be able to taste a selection of 6 – 9 different local tapas dishes, combined with the corresponding drinks. Along the tour, you’ll be explained about the hectic social life that citizens of Palma have and how most of it takes place around food in tapas bars.
