Originally from Southern California, I have lived on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca (Majorca) since 1994. I consider myself a local and enjoy showing visitors what I love about Mallorca as though they were my family or best friends. My specialty is visiting the unknown Mallorca, off the beaten path, away from tourist traps. My tours offer more than the usual mass tourism sites, museums, and monuments. I concentrate on a local experience, emphasizing the people, the food, and the smaller places to find hidden treasures for unique experiences and powerful interactions. As I've traveled through Europe, I've noticed that many visitors, especially first-time visitors, don't have the chance to travel outside the capital cities. Come with me to visit Mallorca's specialty wineries, its picturesque markets, beautiful beaches, and coves. Slow down and enjoy my signature tour, "Made in Mallorca. " Visit the workshops of the island's artisans and learn the process of how handcrafted a master luthier makes concert and flamenco guitars. The workshops of contemporary and traditional ceramicists, glassmakers, shoemakers, and many more are open to you. If food and wine are more to your liking, you'll be surprised to know that the island has over 100 wineries! Let's visit a few and pair the wine with a traditional Mallorcan lunch. Visit an olive grove and taste extra virgin olive oil after being pressed. Meet the locals! Much has happened in Mallorca, and it is reflected in the sites, the food, and in the faces of the islanders. This is the Mallorca I would like to show you. Since starting with ToursByLocals in 2012, I've worked closely with US travel agencies, destination management companies, luxury hotels, and cruise ships to show the best of Mallorca to their clients. ** All tours can be customized, and more people can be added to the tours.

Vine cultivation began on Mallorca around 121 B. C. , when the Romans conquered the island. In the first century B. C. , Pliny the Elder, the Roman author and naturalist, wrote about Balearic wines, comparing them with the best in Italy. During the period of Arab domination, despite prohibition by the Koran, vine cultivation continued, and when King Jaume I conquered the island in 1229, the Moor Beni Abet offered him grapes of excellent quality. Most vineyards are family-run enterprises where everyone is dedicated in heart, mind and spirit to the grapes. I will take you to two outstanding wineries where we will meet their passionate owners, savor a tasting of local products, and taste recently pressed extra virgin olive oil. This visit sources Mallorca's best wineries for an authentic experience. The vineyards are carefully worked and harvested by hand and contain the broadest diversity of native grape varieties.
