Pàgines interiors 'La ciudad de los cafés'

Here we have a book that speaks of the history of Barcelona alongside
that of its cafes or coffee houses. It describes the life of the city
from the first appearance of the local premises you could drink first
coffee in, under quite precarious conditions, located almost on the
city's edge, to the arrival of the large, magnificently decorated salons
for Barcelona's bourgeoisie in the city-centre streets, where it was a
sign of distinction to have a drink.
