CAFÉ MACONDO
Read moreThis cozy café opened its doors in 2004. It serves coffee in all its forms, even in cocktails. Try the Macondo de lulo to cool off, or the Coronel Buendia, to warm you up, as strong as his character in One Hundred Years of Solitude! Quiet setting with several small rooms and a patio and a jazzy atmosphere, with concerts from time to time. Every weekday at 7pm, the cinema opens its doors (for a drink) for independent films from all over the world. Arrive 20 minutes in advance, the room is small.
