Enter the Cafe Iruña in Bilbao
Founded in 1903, the day of San Fermin, for an entrepreneur Navarro, Severo Unzue, is now part of Bilbao's historical heritage, both for its aesthetics and become a meeting place for Bilbao society, chats with participants welcoming such luminaries as Ortega and Unamuno Maeztu. Located on the corner of Columbus and Berastegi Larreategi and the architect Joaquín Rucoba (who also wrote the Arab lounge Hall), has a neo-Moorish style which highlights its interior tiles and murals.
The Café Iruña is currently keeping his literary vocation, being home to a dozen cultural organizations, who continue to use the Café Iruña as a center of celebration of its biggest events.
But despite its strong cultural role, does not forget about the food. Service has a daily menu that recalls the Café Iruña pianist wrote there, in 1927, the Castilian version of the song "Good Menu". In fact, the lyrics of the song is available freely on a postcard in the same Café Iruña and offices of Bilbao Turismo (BIT).
Finally, a detail of the importance of coffee in Bilbao has been declared a unique monument in 1980 and in 2000 won the award for best coffee in Spain.
