The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) agreed at its last meeting yesterday to launch a public tender to operate a bar-café-restaurant located in Plaza Santo Domingo de la Calzada, within the port of Palma.
The establishment, formerly known as Bar Marítimo, is situated in the Santo Domingo gardens, part of the heritage area of Palma's port and at the foot of the Es Jonquet neighbourhood, which has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest. The concession includes an outdoor terrace on the first floor of the building, as well as an open-air terrace in front of the main façade, which enhances its appeal and functionality.
This is an iconic location in the port, with high foot traffic and a strategic position that favours its connection with both port users and residents and visitors to the city. Once in service, it will strengthen the port's service offering and boost the social and economic vitality of this area, in line with the APB's strategy of promoting port-city integration.
It will have a maximum duration of 12 years and covers the operation of facilities intended for use as a bar, café and restaurant, as well as the possibility of offering complementary services related to hospitality and catering.
This initiative is part of the APB's ongoing efforts to improve the quality of port services, promote the integration of the port with the city and create new spaces that boost economic and tourist activity in the port area.
