Café Gijón

I come for a coffee and the continuity. The same café, the same marble tables, where Spanish literature argued with itself for a hundred years.

Open since 1888 and home to the 'tertulia' — the literary gathering — for over a century. Marble, mirrors, brass, and the ghosts of every writer who ever held court here.
