Crusty Bread

The phenomena of the Paderia. It rates up there with the top 10 reasons why I never want to leave. Imagine a Sunday morning stroll down to your local bakery. Not Starbucks or any other franchised, overpriced, monster. Just the local folks who love a good coffee and fresh baked goods. More specifically fresh bread. Crusty, crunchy, buttery, grilled or garnished with fried cheese and ham, or just plain. The jargon is easy to learn: Pao de Chapa (bread buttered then grilled) and Media (cross between cappucino and cafe au lait). It's a little bit of paradise in a cheerful friendly environment where the staff are always in good humour and the prices are always low.
