  2. 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.

  5. Tasty coffee, good tableware and large tables. Un Secreto is one of my favourite places. Also, in summer my thesis was refreshed with an enormous glass of lemonade. They have good wifi and a lovely atmosphere.
