Hi! My name is Albert. I have a Bachelor's Degree in History and I have been working as a Licensed Tour Guide for twelve years. I am a private guide that offers exclusive tours all over Mallorca and, specially, in its capital: Palma. Since I was a kid my passion has always been History. I am very enthusiastic for Palma because I believe my city holds one of the most important monumental sets in Europe: Palma's Old Quarter. This is why I am trying really hard what I actually love in life to be seen as a true profession by everybody. I am proud to say I am making it so far. History is my life and what I do best is taking people back to the past through our wonderful heritage. If you ever thought history was a boring thing, I will be glad to prove you could not be more wrong. I encourage you to join me and you will realize how thrilling is knowing what happenned centuries ago on the very same streets we are walking by today. - University Degree in History, ratified by the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). - National Diploma in Tourist Guiding, Information and Assistance, ratified by the Government of the Balearic Islands. - Specialization in History of the Balearic Islands, ratified by the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). - Official Tour Guide License, ratified by the Government of the Balearic Islands.

If you are either a Jewish visitor to Mallorca or your ancestors belonged to that millenary culture, a visit to the city of Palma is something you cannot miss. The Jews stablished on the Balearic Islands for the first time in the 5th century A. D. and we still are home for the descendants of what has become one of the most ancient ethnic groups in our history. However, most people do not know so much about them as one could think. Join me on this tour and I will unveil, one by one, all the fascinating mysteries about a culture without which presence we could not understand Palma's history. Do we know exactly where they lived? Do we know how many of them there were? Where did they come from? Do we actually know which their main jobs were? What relation did they have with the Kings of Mallorca? And with the Kings of Aragon? When did exactly all the persecutions begin? Why was the Jewish Quarter created? And, who created it? We will find out together the answers to all of these questions and even more!
What can I say? The depth of Albert’s knowledge and the manner of his presentation is exceptional. I can’t imagine a more complete telling of the history, myths and legends of Jews in Mallorca. He is animated and engaging and a joy to spend time with. I can recommend Albert with hesitation. Just book him. You won’t regret it.
I’ve used hundreds of private guides over the years. Albert is one the best guides I’ve ever used. His tour of Palma that focused on myths and history of the Jewish population was simply amazing. His knowledge of medieval history was impressive. We loved spending time with him. Just a superb experience
If you live history and enjoy great conversation, this tour is for you. Not only is Albert incredibly knowledgeable, he is delightfully enthusiastic.
Albert was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and very thorough. A pleasure to spend several hours with him. We would highly recommend him for a tour of Jewish Mallorca!
Fabulous tour with Albert. It was easy to see and feel that Albert has a true passion for history as well as unique details pertaining to the stories/legends/myths about the city of Palma de Mallorca. He gave us fascinating insights into how Jewish life was in Mallorca. Very good outlook on life and genuinely good person. Thank you Albert!
Albert expertly guided us through Mallorca, showing us both the Jewish history of the city, as well as important and interesting general historical sites. Albert has an incredible amount of knowledge about both of those topics, but presents it in a way that is understandable to teens and adults. He was friendly, patient, and able to answer all of our questions— as well as suggest some great places for lunch! I would definitely recommend Albert for your touring in Mallorca!
We will basically visit the three neighborhoods in the city that keep a strong historical bond with the Jewish comunity in Palma. -We will start at the Cathedral; -Then we will move to the Main Square; -Next we will visit the area between the Main Square and the Town Hall; -Finally we will stroll through the Main Jewish Quarter. I am not giving you any more details about the visit since I want we to unravel together all the interesting facts concerning the Jewish comunity in Palma; more precisely, the facts that affected the medieval Jews between the 13th and 15th century. I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preferences, please contact me for a customized tour. ***Please, read carefully: this tour, by default, has a deep and specific content in history. If you are not so interested in history, there is not any problem at all; just let me know ahead and I will adapt the content to your preferences. *** *Please, read carefully: the port is not a meeting point for this tour.*

Hotel in Palma or Parc de la Mar (for cruise ship passengers): you need to take the shuttle bus from the cruise ship to the city center. The shuttle drops you off next to a breakwater called Escollera. Once you get off the bus, go towards the Cathedral (you will see it from where you are). Then, you cross the highway by the pedestrian light and you will be at Parc de la Mar already. Walk to the left as you are facing the Cathedral and the lake and you will see me by the Tourist Information Office.
