COOLMADO LAS MERCEDES

Bar and caf

Coolmado is simply the coolest of all colmados: this trendy venue has chosen to take the concept of colmados - traditional grocery stores serving as bars and social venues that you'll find all over the country - and put its own twist on it. The coolmado follows the model, with its relaxed bar atmosphere, but also organizes events and musical evenings that attract a clientele in search of a good atmosphere, meeting people and having fun. We can therefore only recommend that you spend an evening or early evening there during your trip.
