The square takes its name from Sa Llotja, the impressive Gothic market exchange building which overlooks it from one side. The decorative sandstone facade, contrasted with the lush green palm trees, makes for an idyllic setting. The plaza opens out towards the seaside promenade on one side and, on the other, tables and chairs from the surrounding restaurants spread out across the cobblestones. A great spot during the day and the evening.

La Llotja, which was once a merchants’ exchange. The square is lined with cafés, bars and restaurants, making it perfect for people-watching or enjoying a coffee in the sun. Palm trees add to its charm, and the area often hosts small art displays and events. Its central location means it’s an ideal spot to explore nearby streets, shops, and the marina.
