Monalisa is a block off Calle de la Virgen, on Carrer d'Alfons XII at the foot of the Dalt Vila ramparts. The terrace looks up at the walls and the cathedral, under bougainvillea and palms.
Inside there are couches and swings, and the terrace turns into a small dance floor as the night goes on. The bar has been there since 2009 and calls itself a meeting point rather than just a place to drink. The mix it draws is as much local as visiting: club people, dancers, the occasional face off a poster.
It is a cocktail bar before anything else, and the drinks are the reason to sit down rather than walk past on the way to the port.
