Llibreria Embat is a two-storey bookshop in the heart of Palma, stocking titles in both Catalan and Spanish and widely regarded as one of the city's key cultural hubs.

Stock & Specialisms

The shelves cover a broad range of titles across both languages — Catalan and Spanish in equal measure. The shop is particularly strong on Catalan-language literature, and it carries an impressive section dedicated to the history of the Balearic Islands and Mallorca specifically. You'll also find well-stocked areas covering poetry, cinema, the humanities, theatre, psychology, and school textbooks. If you're after something hard to track down or out of print, you're in the right place: Embat can source titles to order that aren't currently on the shelves. Where available, most books can be had in either the Catalan or the Spanish edition — your choice.

Advice & Service

Knowledgeable, personal service is very much the hallmark of Embat. The staff are genuinely hands-on — happy to help you search and quick to offer thoughtful recommendations. If you'd rather leave the choosing to the experts, you can rely on years of bookselling experience to point you in the right direction. The shop also takes online orders and offers delivery, and there's a loyalty points card that lets you build up credit with every purchase to spend on future visits.

Cultural Role

Embat sees itself as an active part of Palma's cultural life rather than simply a place to buy books. The shop regularly hosts readings and book launches, turning the space into a genuine venue for literary events in the city.

Finding the Bookshop

Llibreria Embat is tucked away in the Passatge Particular Joan XXIII in Palma's Centre district. From the street it looks rather compact, but step inside and it opens up across two full floors — a pleasant surprise if it's your first visit.
