The main screen is a fabulous old salon, complete with balcony and boxes. The whole cinema is housed in a fin de siecle building which has starred in at least one Almodovar film.
As with any Spanish museum, morgue or meeting place there is a cafeteria serving coffee and snacks on site.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19169 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17537 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17537 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2133
