It's usually buzzing at any time of day as it provides good quality food and drinks at reasonable places. Loads of locals, always a good sign!

Couples looking deeply into each other's eyes. Grannies trying half-heartedly to control boisterous children. Sets of businessmen all looking at their iPhones. All modern Spain is here!

Lovely breakfasts, great evening...
