  2. 02Mercado Ferrando

    café2120 ChanáPowerWork 100

    Another place I've used is the Mercado Ferrando, at the back upstairs it has some long tables and outlets, normally it would be good for you to buy something (a coffee from ganache) but I doubt anyone would kick you out.

    Otro lugar que yo he usado es el Mercado Ferrando, al fondo arriba tiene unas mesas largas y enchufes, normalmente estaría bueno que te consumas algo (un café de ganache) pero dudo que alguien te vaya a sacar.
