Palma bookshops plan around 20 events after strike delay
Palma, Mallorca: around 20 bookshop events bring readings, workshops, talks and book presentations to the city from 12 to 30 November. Palma City Council and the Gremi de Llibreters booksellers’ association are marking Bookshop Day from 11 to 13 November.
The association says a general strike called for Wednesday prompted the change of dates. The campaign aims to highlight the links between Palma and its bookshops.
Two guided walks led by Joan Carles Palos will visit historic and well-known bookshops, looking at how booksellers recommend books and help shape cultural life. Actresses Núria and Mar Fiol will lead a new family route through children’s bookshops.
The association has also launched a digital map showing where bookshops are across Mallorca and giving basic details about them. It includes information on the shops’ reading groups.
