Description

El Bazar del Libro is a second-hand and antiquarian bookshop in the heart of Palma, and has been one of the city's most beloved institutions since 1978.

Books, Rarities and More

The stock spans first editions, second-hand books, antiquarian volumes and out-of-print titles — including pieces that are simply impossible to find anywhere else. Browse long enough and you'll also come across magazines, newspapers, comics, vinyl records, postcards, maps and travel guides from various eras. Prices are refreshingly affordable, as you'd expect from a second-hand bookshop. If you're hunting for a specific title, just ask the staff: the shop has a back-room stock and can source titles that aren't currently on the shelves to order.

Multilingual & Personal

One of El Bazar del Libro's most distinctive qualities is its impressive multilingual selection. Books in Spanish, English, German, French, Portuguese and Italian sit side by side on the shelves — a genuine bonus for international visitors. The staff are knowledgeable and genuinely helpful, taking the time to offer personal recommendations and assist with tracking down particular titles.

Atmosphere & Character

From the moment you walk in, the shop makes its mark: shelves packed to the rafters, the scent of old pages, a cosy reading corner and a pianola that gives the space a character entirely its own. El Bazar del Libro has been a Palma landmark since 1978 — the current owners, Cati and Joan Toni, took it on after falling in love with the shop on their very first visit.

Location in the Old Town's Centre Quarter

The bookshop is located at Carrer del Sant Crist 2 in the Centre quarter of Palma's old town, making it an easy and rewarding stop on any stroll through the city's historic lanes.
