Xanacuk

Chueca


This juice and salad bar is very veggie-friendly and locals and tourists alike enjoy stopping in for a healthy boost. With options for vegetarians and vegans, you can design your own salad and stick around, or grab a pre-made sandwich or wrap to go. The brightly coloured interior is inviting and smells of fresh fruit.
