    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.

  3. 03Sinergia

    coworking space1273,1275 EjidoWi‑FiWork 97

    Because if you're willing to pay you've got sinergia, a friend pays to go study and work there, he says it's spectacular. It's not cheap though, but not crazy either

    Porque si estás dispuesto a pagar tenés sinergia, un amigo paga para ir a estudiar y laburar ahí, dice que es espectacular. No es barato igual, pero tampoco una locura
