Café Bar Iruña opened in 1903, and the same curious Moorish-style colored ceramic tiles and shields with coats-of-arms remain on the walls. A popular meeting point for bankers, executives and young working people, it's always busy and bursting with life from early morning until late at night. You can come for breakfast, lunch or drinks in the evening when the music is turned on. The bar sets up outdoor facilities during special festive events so that you can eat and drink and enjoy the music where the action is, on the street.
An enormous steel anchor makes out that this "galleon" is fixed to the land and a sign saying "welcome aboard" invites us inside. Once inside El Galeón, having been greeted by a captain with an eye-patch and metal hook, it is as though we really are aboard an old sailing ship: rope ladders on the walls, pictures of sailors, curtained windows colored red and green, huge barrels, old maps, flashing lamps, poles twisted with ropes and a large space at the back for dancing to the latest sounds and golden oldies. All this while you drink your favorite spirit and mixer. If things get too hot for you, you can take your drink outside. Enjoy the Happy Hour Thursdays as you groove to the beats of the DJs. You can also host business parties, student festivals and weddings at this venue. Check website for more details.
