I'm a firm believer that the environment in which I study affects the grade that I receive. I…read morecould not think of a better study space than Cafeteria Planeta. On a sunny day, I bring my DELE books, order a glass of Albariño, and people-watch from the sidewalk. I'm also a firm believer in the Spanish bar value proposition. When I order a glass of wine, I love to receive some olives or a montadito to snack on. At Planeta, I am presented with a bowl of olives, a full plate of montaditos, and half a tortilla espanola. (Granted, the tortilla is not the best [1], but it's the thought that counts!) For 2.30 euro, I am satiated, relaxed, and leave the bar much better prepared for my exam. There's one waiter in particular who speaks a little bit of English. He speaks to me in English, I speak to him in Spanish. Let's hope the conversation portion of the DELE tests life skills, such as asking for a Terras Gauda albariño... [1] The tortilla is very flat, not very fluffy, and slightly dry.

When I asked if we could just order and not have any seating she brusquely told us no and dismissed us. Mind you, my family and I were polite and are Spanish speakers. The attitude of the proprietor or front person was that we were not worthy of paying her for her food and a waste of her time. Don't go there. If I could give it no stars I would.

He told me to come back after 4 pm around the corner where they have the Metate Bar and Cafe. I am glad I came back. I will definitely come back next time I am in Santiago de Compostela.
