Program details
Discover the magic of the city of Palma on a fun, ecological and noise-free tour.With this new product, you will have the opportunity to drive one of our XEV YOYO, a 100% electric urban vehicle with 2 comfortable seats. We are going to drive approx. 20km through the wonderful city of Palma, through some narrow streets of the old town, bordering the majestic cathedral along the
promenade, and visiting some of the treasures of the city's outskirts, such as the Bellver Castle, the museum of San Carlos and the Caves of Genova.
The tour takes place with a maximum of 5 vehicles with our local guides and our two-way portable radio stations, through which you won't miss any detail during the tour and you will be able to interact with the guide at any time.
San Carlos Military Museum
While we share sensations, we will take the opportunity to visit the museum of San Carlos, a hidden gem in the city of Palma, where we can learn about the military history of the Bay of Palma, which since ancient times, has been an important anchorage point for commercial ships to protect themselves from the pirates of the Mediterranean. The museum, divided into several rooms, offers a broad overview of the weaponry of the Spanish infantry, with examples of artillery and ancient weapons.
Palma Centre and Old Town Route
We begin our tour through the centre of Palma by driving along the Paseo Marítimo, observing the number of boats moored on the different piers, until we reach the Plaza de Cort to drive through the alleyways of the old town that will take us back to the Paseo Marítimo on the side of the majestic Palma Cathedral and the Parc de la Mar.
Génova Natural Caves
Mallorca is known for its impressive natural caves such as the Cuevas del Drach, Hams, Campanet, Artá..., but still not many know that just a few kilometres from Palma, in the village of Génova, are the Cuevas de Génova, a natural formation discovered accidentally in 1906 during the construction of a well. The cave is made up of several underground galleries that descend to a depth of 36 metres, reaching a distance of approximately 1 kilometre. We will visit the cave to appreciate the extreme beauty caused by the colours of the minerals found on its walls, and by the eccentric formations that have been created over the years.
Bellver Castle
Our last visit will be to the famous Bellver Castle. Its name comes from the old Catalan and means "Beautiful Views", so don't leave the city without reaching the top of the castle to enjoy its beautiful views, from the Serra de Tramuntana to the city and its port. It is a 14th-century Gothic fortification that was a royal residence, the only castle with a circular floor plan in Spain, and the oldest of the four remaining castles in Europe.
