01Sinergia
coworking space1273,1275 EjidoWi‑FiWork 100
Named in 3 Reddit threads.
I'm also a designer and work at home, and out of a need for human interaction I sometimes go to sinergia on ejido, which has a free area, it's not the nicest of all, but it does the job.
Yo también soy diseñadora y trabajo en casa y como necesidad de interacción humana a veces voy a sinergia de ejido que hay una parte libre, no es el más lindo de todos, pero sirve.

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.
