“If you have little time on a first visit to Palma, this is an excellent resource and interesting exploration of the historical center. I would definitely recommend. I really enjoyed the highlights by the guide. The only limitation is relocating oneself if you find yourself getting off track..An improvement would be to link somehow with GMaps”
