Bar España

Palma de Mallorca


Happening upon this place in the evening when everything else in the vicinity is closed is like discovering a hidden secret. Hugely popular and deservedly so, it has stone walls and an agreeable hum of conversation accompanies the fine pintxos (Basque tapas), which are lined up along the bar or chalked up on a board.
