If you think Toledo is more touristy than trendy, you clearly haven’t found your way into the cool confines of El Internacional, a proud purveyor of slow food, spray-painted tables, overflowing bookcases, rescued 1970s armchairs and, of course, beards.
The good news is, no matter what your fashion affiliations, you’ll feel perfectly comfortable snuggling down in its welcoming entrails with a cup of coffee, a piece of homemade cake and a copy of George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia.
