Bar Sa Travessa is an authentic bar in the heart of Palma, bringing together neighbourhood culture, Mallorcan snacks, and ever-changing art exhibitions all under one roof.

Llonguets, Pa amb oli & Banderilles

The heart of Sa Travessa is its snacks: llonguets — the iconic Mallorcan bread rolls — and pa amb oli are among the most celebrated things on offer. Pickled peppers in the Sa Pobla style (banderilles) are equally a highlight, not to be missed. Beer and wine complete the picture. The feel is that of an honest counter-snack bar — not a restaurant, but a bar that does what it does brilliantly.

Art in the Glass and on the Walls

Sa Travessa sees itself as a stage for Palma's local art scene: rotating exhibitions of paintings, photography, and installations define the character of the space. Even the toilets serve as a gallery — the so-called WC Gallery. Young artists use the venue to make their mark on Palma's art world, and a great soundtrack ties the whole atmosphere together.

Biel and the Crowd

Biel, the owner and barman, is the soul behind the bar's warm, personal approach to service. The crowd is wonderfully mixed — regulars from the neighbourhood, artists, and people looking for an unhurried conversation at the counter.
