Très bon café pour prendre un petit-déjeuner. Les prix sont raisonnables. Nous avons pris un croissant (à l’espagnole donc sucré) et des bocadillos et ils étaient très bons.

Sembrava un bar molto alla buona ma alla fine abbiamo mangiato meglio di quanto mi aspettassi. Fanno sia pintxos sia piatti caldi o insalate. Ambiente un po' vecchio ma staff molto cortese
