Ha Café no Alfarrabista

Alfarrabista means second-hand bookseller, and bookworms seeking a good read with their boca (espresso) should head for this delightfully offbeat café. Hundreds of hardbacks and paperbacks (some rare) plus magazines line floor to ceiling shelving set around tables in a "library" located at the back of the premises. Available in all sorts of languages, the books can be leafed through during lunch or snack. If you find a real page-turner, put in an offer at the counter and take it home with you. The menu lists tangy fruit juices, pancakes and tuna, chicken or vegetarian wraps, among other tasty homemade snacks. They even do a pretty good take on the "English breakfast".
