Following one of your comments, here you have an entry on three cafes with sculptures of their most famous clients.
CAFÉ IRUÑA in PAMPLONA
Founded in 1888 by a group of locals, Café Iruña was the first cafe with electric light in Pamplona, "opened to the public on the eve of San Fermín” said chronicles of the time. Since then it has been a meeting place for locals and foreigners who want to follow the steps of American writer Ernest Hemingway in search of the places he went to the nine times he visited the city.
CAFÉ NOVELTY in SALAMANCA
Founded in 1905, Novelty is the oldest cafe in Salamanca. For more than a century it has been a referent in the social, political and cultural life of the city. Among its most renowned clients we can highlight writers such Miguel de Unamuno, Carmen Martín Gaite and Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, the latter having a life-size sculpture on one of its sofas.
CAFÉ A BRASILEIRA in LISBON
The Café A Brasileira is one of the oldest and most famous cafes in the old quarter of Lisbon. It was a meeting point for intellectuals and academics in the first half of the 20th century, including Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, the writers Aquilino Ribeiro and Alfredo Pimenta.
A bronze statue of Fernando Pessoa, by sculptor Lagoa Henriques, was eventually placed outside the cafe in 1988, even though, ironically, Pessoa considered the Café Martinho da Arcada (on the Praça do Comércio , founded in 1782), as his favorite cafe.
