In the heart of Vigo, an unexpected morning led me to enjoy a creamy caramel latte at Cañaveral Brunch, one of my favorite spots in the city. In this unhurried pause, alone with my coffee and my thoughts, I found beauty in the unplanned.
At the beginning of the week I went out to run a personal errand, something I had been putting off for several weeks due to lack of time. When I got there, the office wasn’t open yet. I had some time to kill, the sky was cloudy (as it often is in Galicia), and not far from there, like a little gift from the universe, was Cañaveral Brunch, one of my favorite cafés in Vigo.
So I thought, “Well, let’s treat ourselves.”
I ordered a tasty caramel latte with cream - because I had already had a regular coffee at home - and looked for a small table where I could sit quietly, take some pictures and simply observe. I really like coming here, and although I usually do it accompanied, today I'm alone. But not in a bad way. In fact, there is something special about enjoying a moment with yourself, unhurried, with coffee in hand and your mind a little lighter. (I took this picture with my cell phone resting on the napkin holder).👇
The place was quite empty when I arrived, which I was grateful for, because it allowed me to walk around it calmly and take pictures of some of its corners without disturbing anyone. I think it is therapeutic to be alone in a nice place, listening to soft music in the background, feeling the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and letting time pass without rushing, it was a really relaxing moment because the rest of the day was quite busy.
Cañaveral Brunch has that vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a little secret garden. The ceiling is decorated with hanging lamps and a bunch of artificial plants that, although not real, create a super cozy, natural atmosphere. I love how they mix leafy and floral cushions with vibrant-colored chairs and seats. It’s cheerful and a little tropical—it makes you forget for a moment that you’re in the middle of the city.
If you ever find yourself in Vigo, near Plaza Puerta del Sol, you already know: take a walk through Cañaveral Brunch. Ask for something tasty, maybe you will be lucky enough to find it alone and spend a relaxing moment too.
Thanks for stopping by! ☕️
