Café Comercial

It is one of the city's oldest cafés, founded 21 March 1887 in the era of the Bourbon Restoration in Spain.

The Café Comercial first opened 21 March 1887, according to the license granted to Don Antonio Gómez Fernández.

Marcial Guareño composed a schottische whose lyrics ran, in part: Business meetings in that era gave the café its name.

The café is strongly associated with the intellectual circles of Regenerationism who hoped to reform Spain after its 1898 defeat in the war versus the United States.
