Trapezzio Cafe

Set on a pretty little square in the historic El Carmen district, Trapezzio Cafe is a long-running gay-friendly spot that works equally well for morning coffee, an afternoon vermouth or a low-key evening drink. It's a favourite warm-up before heading across town to Ruzafa's louder venues, and its terrace is a fine place to watch old-town Valencia drift by. Friendly staff and a mixed local-and-visitor crowd keep the vibe easygoing.
