Staying in La Lonja
Use Sa Llotja and Plaça de la Drassana as your first reference points. Between them, short lanes connect restaurant terraces with the harbor side of the old town. The same compact layout can carry evening conversation up to bedroom windows. Check whether your room faces a square, a restaurant terrace or an internal courtyard before choosing it.

Plaça de la Drassana and the lanes around Carrer dels Apuntadors offer plenty of places to compare menus on foot. Decide whether you want a full dinner or several small dishes before choosing a table. If you need an early night, eat away from your accommodation's own terrace.
