Local hub where people meet for cafe, drinks and quick snack or just buy cigarettes. Great atmosphere, long opening hours, women working here are both friendly and quick in service. The baked bread with ham or goat cheese is a great snack. Best squeezed orange juice.

This is the place where the locals have their coffee and cake. Fantastic homemade almond cookies from their own bakery right beside the bar. The cortado is also delicious. Whenever you are on this road you must stop here and try their cookies. The Mantecados are great, too. The bar is easy to find, it’s right beside the main road, you can’t miss it.
