Palma throught the colours
Palma throught the colours and numbers If you like philosophy joing this tour to find out the old four enigmas of the Middle Age. The four colours of each enigma (white, green, red and yellow) how those colours are costantly present surrounding us in most of the monuments and houses when we walk. What's the meaning of the green shuttles of the windows in Mallorcan houses. Do you know why Hope is always in green colour or why the martyrs always dressed in red in Christian iconography? In this vist you will discover how the colours and the numbers are linked with the circle of life of the humans or the nature. The tour will take us throughout a city that looks towards the sea. You will be walking on the oldest streets through the most important part of this charming city. You'll be imagining how was the type of life of people dedicated to diferent activities ( merchants, jewish, noblety, pirates ,corsairs...) in each of the four separated quarters 700 years ago. Those endogamic groups left us a very rich heritage that we admire today. The walking tour last 2 hours about. Mail to:corralmiguel@hotmail.com
