Palma de Mallorca - La Llave bookshop

Well, I start by saying that this is a post more pesonal than the others, and this is because I am going to talk about a place I really love here in Palma. First you must know that I am really keen on the subject of self-enpowerment, this is a path that I started a few years ago and has revealed itself to be one of my best choices in life. For this reason, whenever I move into a new place, I try to find out if there is a bookshop dedicated to this topic... and here I found La Llave (The Key).

You can find it in Calle Estade, it's one of the corner of Plaza Major, in the most central place of Palma, so you should get to it straight away.

What hit me most in this place is the atmosphere you can breathe in there. First of all, there's plenty of light, it's not one of those gloomy bookshops that scares you away... and as you browse through the books (pretty well organized, by the way) you feel at peace and it seems you have all the time in the world.

There is even a small corner where you can sit and flip through the pages of books you like, while making up your mind.

During my first visit there, now I am a regular, I was looking for a specific book. I did not have any title or reference, I only knew what I wanted to be in the book, but had no idea if there was actually something like that around. So I started looking around and, there it was, just the book I was looking for, as soon as I looked at it I was sure it was the right one (well, the title as well was somehow a hint 'Ask and it is given' by Esther and Jerry Hicks).

Then the owner, a lovely young lady with a soft voice and a sweet smile, helped me find another title, (well, fisrt she had to figure out what I meant with my first tentative words in Spanish).

From that day on, I just come back as much as I can, especially because they have a program of side activities which is really interesting.

So, if you are in Palma just be sure not to miss it!
