real hand-made Italian ice cream, and a stroll around a pretty square in the sun - expect
queues at peak times and then more waiting as you struggle to choose from the twenty-odd
different flavours. Daily 2pm-1am (Fri & Sat until 2am); opens at 4pm Nov-April.
La Nena c/de Ramon y Cajal 36 932 851 476, chocolaterialanena.com ; Fontana;
map . First and foremost, it's the food at “the little girl” that's the main attraction - lovely
home-made cakes, plus waffles, quiches, organic ice cream, squeezed juices and the like.

little seats, games and puzzles. Mon-Wed 9am-2pm & 4-10pm, Thurs-Sat 9am-10pm, Sun
10am-10pm; closed Aug.
