Picked out in ivory and gold tones, with big storefront windows, it is a charming space. Elegant, cosy and a little slice of times gone by, it is the perfect place to sit down with a slice of cake or a pastry, a cup of coffee and a good book and watch the world go by. After you have eaten a little and browsed the items on sale, be sure to head down to the basement to view the remains of the quarter’s public baths.
Don't worry, you need not be religious or of any particular faith to visit and you won't feel unwelcome if you are not. The cafe is not a religious institution but, rather, somewhere where some of Europe's most intriguing products and food items have been gathered under one roof. A singular and fascinating foodie experience for those who have found a vacation rental in Spain.
