Café bar Maravilla
This blue casita is all ambience, from the twinkling porch lights to the stuffed red-leather armchairs. It is a great place to chill, with tablas (cutting-boards) of meat and cheese and yuca fries. The drink menu gets creative, with herbal aphrodisiacs and hueso de chuchuguazo (a root mixed with rum).
