Cafe Jacobs offers a massive selection of coffees and teas, packing at least five pages of their menu, in addition to the rest of their ice cream and food offerings. Perhaps the complete lack of sleep on board the bus could have altered my perception of it, but it was one of the best cafes I have ever had in Spain, and definitely the best of this trip. Too bad the accompanying Napolitana wasn't so great, with an overly dense texture. The chocolate coating was quite sweet, though the Nutella filling was decent - it brought back memories of a conversation I once had with Emilie in Croatia, with her commenting how pains au chocolat are best early in the morning, fresh from the oven and still warm. I remember commenting that Nutella would be great inside, but she thought that the texture of the Nutella would be compromised after baking in the oven - and though the Nutella flavour remained, she was right about the texture, as its consistency was a bit like what happens when a bit of water gets into melted chocolate, and it seizes.
