You may have noticed my absence on here over the last week or so but we went on a much longed for Easter break to one of our favourite places: Palma de Mallorca.

Not everything turned out as we expected – I’m going to spare you the details of our filthy townhouse and the stress it caused – but you’ve got to look on the bright side and not only did the boys love their unbridled time on the beach but Mama also got some precious time to herself and met up with local resident Mary whom I met on Instagram just over a year ago.

It’s always a little nerve wrecking to meet people in real life whom you’ve only ever shared friendly emojis and some jokes with but we got on great straight away and arranged to meet up at one of Palma’s cutest little coffee places, La Molienda.

Just a short stroll north of Placa del Rei on the corner of Carrer del Bisbe Campins is this tiny corner cafe with some shaded seating outside and a large antique sofa and some stools inside proudly serving Palma’s best coffee. I can absolutely vouch for their quality coffee and was totally enchanted by the stripped back white washed interior with a touch of industrial lighting and gorgeous original floor tiles.

Mary runs her own online store Es Bolic and I figured out pretty quickly that we share a common aesthetic and love for everything interior related and artisan so she showed me one of her favourite haunts hidden away in the old town in a back yard of old garages that house a mix of small businesses from yoga studio, art gallery and bike repair shop to the enchanting ViVeCa with their selection of antiques and handcrafted textiles, ceramics and furniture.

It’s an amazing treasure trove of unique finds and carefully curated mostly Spanish goods run by sisters Camilla and Carla. But ViVeCa is much more than a shop it’s a concept that also offers location finding and restoration services as well as landscape design, be it in Palma’s city centre or in the country. Check out their Instagram account to see some of the gems they come across.

I loved their selection and whilst Mary and the girls had a chat in what sounded extra fast Spanish I couldn’t stop myself from snapping away.

If you’re ever in this wonderful city make sure you stop by.
