Eat and relax in a place where local people spend their time, where you can observe your daily life, customs and all that happens during the week long. It is a great possibility of seeing them with their colleagues, friends, spouses, children and other relatives. This also gives you chance to see how the real life looks like. To see all that is beautiful but also this that is sad and pushing to a reflection.
Coffee, coffee, coffee! Yes! Always and everywhere! That is true, but what could be better than to be in a magical location, where you can relax, be surrounded by unique decorations and chill down.

So different but so good. Depending on the region you get something else. Something else is liked and disliked. Something else is, and is not popular.
