When strolling around Mahón, you will easily end out in Plaça Bastió.
This vibrant square is where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy the mix of cozy bars and restaurants with terraces that invite you to linger. Families especially love it, thanks to the playground that keeps little ones entertained while adults relax.

Here you'll find the Portal de Sant Roc, the last visible remnant of Mahón’s medieval walls. Built around 1359, this gateway once served as the main entrance to the old walled city. Standing beneath its ancient arch, you can almost hear the echoes of the medieval market bustle and imagine the lives of those who passed through centuries ago.

Tip: Visit in the late afternoon to enjoy the golden hour light illuminating the Portal and the lively energy of the square as the evening begins. It’s a nice spot to savor a drink or tapas and watch Mahón come alive.
