Café del Nuncio

La Latina & Lavapiés


Café del Nuncio straggles down a laneway to Calle de Segovia. You can drink on one of several cosy levels inside or, better still in summer, enjoy the outdoor seating that one local reviewer likened to a slice of Rome. By day it’s an old-world cafe with great coffee, but by night it’s one of the best no-frills bars in the barrio.
