Café El Despertar

Live musicLocals' pick

A fin-de-siècle café next to the Filmoteca's Cine Doré, opened in 1981 in an early 20th-century shop, with tulip lamps, a working old cash register and clay floors. Front room for a drink and conversation, back room with a tiny stage for jazz: a refuge for emerging musicians and jam sessions.
