La Biblioteca de Babel is a bookshop with a bar and café in the heart of Palma.

Books, wine and coffee under one roof

What sets La Biblioteca de Babel apart from an ordinary bookshop is its combination of shelves and drinks: whilst browsing for a book, you can just as easily order a glass of wine, a coffee or a beer. The selection is aimed primarily at lovers of the humanities — mythology, sociology, poetry, travel, economics and fiction are among the key focuses, with rare and hard-to-find titles very much part of the shop's identity.

Cultural programme and piano

Inside, there is a piano at which performances take place on a regular basis, alongside a broader programme of cultural events hosted in the shop. The name of the establishment is a nod to Jorge Luis Borges.

Location and terrace

The bookshop is situated in the Centre neighbourhood at Carrer Arabí 3, 07003 Palma. Facing the street is a small terrace, appreciated by visitors as a peaceful alternative to the busy pedestrian zone nearby.
