A traditional cafe with marble tables and dark wood that has been the local meeting place for several generations. The terrace under the plane trees of Plaza de Cervantes fills with retirees in the morning and a younger crowd at sundown. Coffee, vermouth from the barrel, simple tapas and a long list of pastries.
It is the kind of unhurried place where a midmorning coffee can stretch to lunchtime if you let it. Cash and cards both accepted.
