Cafetería con terraza ubicada en la plaza Españoleto, en Xativa. El trato del personal es excelente y muy servicial. El almuerzo buenísimo, con el pan tostado del día y calentito, y el café intenso y con espuma, realmente todo muy bueno. Muy recomendable para hacer un alto en el camino en tu visita al castillo de Xativa.
