In the heart of Cambados you find a cute little square called Praza Alfredo Brañas, with a fountain…read moreand palm trees and kids running around at night. Cafeteria Brothers is located at this square. This is a good spot to catch some sun and just sit in the shade and watch Galician life going on. Brothers has the standard things a bar offers: drinks and some little snacks (like crisps). One of the assets bis the snacks you get with your drinks: with only one sparkling water I got nuts, crisps and a bocata (a small bread with a topping). With coffee you get sweet things like pastel. Some days there is a little podium for musicians. There is no tapas menu, so just come here for the drinks! What I like about this square is that you will barely find any strangers (like yourself) and you will be surrounded by locals who go here at night to meet their friends and family. For me a holiday does not get any better, just enjoying these simplicity of normal life: a nice drink, kids laughing, birds chirping, sun on your skin.

No sun, no problem, I will still look for a nice terrace outside. Bar Baloca was the only one (of…read morethe 4 bars) on Praza Alfredo Brañas that dared to put the tables and chairs out on a clause day. For that courage I will choose. The thing that will surprise you is the way the coffee will be decorated and customized especially for you. Mine said: "Thanks a lot Bella". Spanish romantics with an eye wink. I know the waiter is not in love with me, but it would everybody feel welcomed. After asking for the Wifi password, the owner even gave me a better network just across from his terrace. Spanish kindness won; this will be my favorite bar on this little square. The square itself will stay my favorite in Cambados, because it is so relaxed and cosy. I have not tried the food so will stick with a coffee review and the overall impression: good!

Coffees to go are increasingly easier to get in little towns like Cambados. Whereas taking a coffee…read morewas usually taken standing at the bar before running of to where you need to go, a sign with "para llevar" is found more often on the windows of little coffee places. This place is new on Avenida de Galicia. A Dispensa de Piñeiro seems to be a franchise and looks a bit standard. However, the coffees and breads are of good -bakery- quality and like lots of food in Spain of a good price. Breakfast (coffee, orange juice and croissant) is sold for about €3,50. Besides that lots of other pastries like torta de manga a, empanadas, pan de chorizo or breada to take away (also wholewheat and spelt) are sold. So, a good place to start your day. Or like I did, take a coffee latte para llevar with a croissant and a pain au chocolat for just €3,- and sitting down in the children's playground across the street (next to the bus station). Part of my perfect holiday.
