Meet & Bike Fit — Travessa d'en Ballester 8 (GreenTours meeting point)
Group meet-up, safety briefing, helmet fit and brief e‑bike tutorial. Bottled water provided. Your guide will outline the route and tailor pacing for the group.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes early for a relaxed start and to secure a front-row bike — helps with photos later.
- Wear light layers in May — mornings can be cool and warm quickly; sunscreen is recommended.
- If you want couple photos, ask the guide to pose you against the narrow old‑town lanes with soft morning light.
Transfer (short ride) to Plaça Major
Easy scenic e‑bike ride over short cobbled streets toward the heart of the Old Town.
Tips from local experts:
- Ride single file on narrow streets and follow your guide — it's safer and makes for better photos.
- Look for charming shopfronts as you pass; they make great background shots for couples.
- If cobbles feel bumpy, switch to lower assistance to steady the bike while your partner captures the moment.
Stop: Plaça Major — introduction to Palma's urban heart
Short guided stop at the principal square to learn about its role in Palma's life and where to wander from here.
Tips from local experts:
- Stand on the steps for a classic couple shot framed by the arcades — the morning light in May is gentle.
- Ask your guide about quieter alleyways nearby for a later private stroll after the tour.
- If either of you are light eaters, a small café nearby offers coffee to pair with the later ensaimada tasting.
Stop: Església de Santa Eulàlia — brief architectural note
Outside look at Santa Eulàlia church; guide explains its architecture and place in Palma's history.
Tips from local experts:
- This stop is brief — perfect for soaking in the vibe without museum queues.
- If you love details, look for carved stonework near the entrance — wonderful for close-up couple photos.
- There are shaded benches nearby where you can rest and enjoy the church bells chiming.
Stop: Església / Convent Sant Francesc — cloister and history
View the church exterior and cloister area; guide shares anecdotes about the convent's past.
Tips from local experts:

- If steps are a concern, stay with the bikes where there's level ground nearby; the guide will summarise details aloud.
- Look for small plaques that reference historical couples or events — little romantic twists to the history.
Old‑Town Lanes: Carrer Monti, Carrer Can Fonollar & Carrer de Can Serra — local architecture
Short rolling tour through narrow romantic lanes, pointing out notable houses, small palaces and convent façades listed in the route.
Tips from local experts:
- These lanes are charming but narrow — lean into the intimacy and pause for candid photos.
- Keep a light jacket handy — shaded alleys can be pleasantly cool for a quick cuddle shot.

Outside stop near the royal palace to discuss its historic role and view the palace precinct from the bike lane.
Tips from local experts:

- If you want a private photo, ask your guide to help compose a shot using palace details in the background.
Stop: La Seu (Cathedral) exterior — cathedral highlights

- If you plan to return later to go inside, your guide can suggest the best quiet times to avoid crowds.
Stop: Es Baluard / Porta de Santa Catalina viewpoint
Short stop at Es Baluard area to enjoy elevated views over the old town and the sea — perfect photo vantage before heading to Bellver.
Tips from local experts:
- This viewpoint is ideal for couple wide shots with sea and town in the background — ask the guide for framing tips.
- If you enjoy art, Es Baluard's exterior spaces often have sculptures that make stylish backdrops.
- Keep jackets handy for breezy moments — the sea breeze is refreshing in May but can be cool on elevated corners.
Transfer: Coastal / park ride to Castell de Bellver
Enjoy the easy e‑bike ascent through the coastal bike lane and park roads toward Bellver Castle — the bike's electric assist makes the climb effortless.
Tips from local experts:
- Use the bike's higher assistance briefly on steeper sections so you arrive at the viewpoint energized and ready for photos.
- Hold hands (safely) at slow sections for a classic couple shot while riding — ask your guide when it’s safe.
- There are several photo stops on the approach — tell your guide if you prefer a quieter moment rather than quick snapshots.
Stop: Castell de Bellver — panoramic viewpoint (photo moment)
Extended stop to see the castle exterior and take in sweeping views of Palma, the harbour and the Tramuntana range — a special romantic moment on the tour.
Tips from local experts:
- This is the tour's 'special moment' — ask your guide to time a relaxed photo session with the city and sea as your backdrop.
- There are benches and shaded areas; if you want a quiet pause, stroll a little from the main viewpoint to find a private nook.

- Sit by a window if available for people‑watching and to enjoy a traditional interior that dates back centuries.
- If either of you have dietary concerns, ask staff — they are used to visitors and can guide on ingredients and portions.
