Lorca’s living room Cafe culture is a big part of our identity as porteños – the cafes serving as refuges from the city and bridges to our past. Los 36 Billares is one of our most historic, dating back to 1894, when Avenida de Mayo had just been completed. It’s where Federico García Lorca used to drink. • Follow Vicky Martínez at instagram.com/m.vicky.m
