Bar Espana

Historic tapas bar in the heart of Palma with authentic flavours and lively atmosphere

Bar Espanya is a true Palma institution, serving pinchos and tapas that have stood the test of time in a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Located in the heart of the city, the original bar on Calle Can Escursac has been delighting locals and visitors alike for years, while a second location at Plaça Raimundo Clar continues the tradition with the same menu and spirit intact.

Every tapa tells a story, made from fresh ingredients and crafted with care, whether it’s a classic recipe or a signature creation with a cheeky twist. From traditional vermuts to wines with character and artisanal beers, there’s something to complement every bite. The music and friendly energy make it the perfect place to relax, chat, and soak up Palma’s authentic bar culture.

Bar Espanya has never followed trends; instead, it focuses on genuine flavour, character, and doing things properly. It’s a spot where tapas come with soul, where every drink brings people together, and where the atmosphere keeps you coming back. Whether you’re here for a quick caña, a leisurely vermut, or a full evening of tapas, Bar Espanya offers the perfect combination of food, drink, and authentic Palma spirit that has made it a local favourite for years.
