Palma de Mallorca: Escape from Castle Bellver
Overview
The year is 1805. You are Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, and after seven years in Castle Bellver, you have escaped. But freedom is not yet yours, you must sneak back inside to find a map leading to the port and a ship off the island.
Navigate 14 stops from the castle through the Bellver Forest, past a chapel, down through Santa Catalina's streets and market, to the harbour. Decode Latin inscriptions, count Roman guardians, crack passwords, and read a sundial to learn your escape date.
Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start at Castle Bellver's parking area. No guide, no schedule, explore at your own pace.
Every stop reveals Palma's history: Europe's only circular castle, a forest hiding a witch's legend, a 900 sq metre hotel mural, and a Civil War memorial debated under Spain's memory law.
Best in the morning. Perfect for couples or history lovers visiting Mallorca. About 3 hours, 14 stops from castle to harbour.

What To Expect
This trip will allow you to get to know the city of Palma, its beauty, history, nature and absorb the uniqueness of this capital city.
The game takes you back to a time when the historic monument of Bellver Castle was not a tourist attraction but a prison, and your journey starts there with a stunning view of one of the largest ports in Europe.
Your journey later continues through the forest, the centre, through the traditional marketplace in the old part of town until you reach your destination.
In order to have whole experience, you have to enter the castle where the story of the prisoner, but also of Palma herself, begins. Later, you'll walk through the forest with spectacular views along the way, see unique monuments, experience a traditional Spanish market in the old town, famous park, until you reach the port.
