The walls and ceiling of this little bar are plastered with film posters, postcards and other curiosities, lending it the feel of a magpie’s nest. El Imperfecto is famous for its mojitos (two for €10) and you can often smell the heady rush of mint when you walk in. It has a good range of other cocktails, as well as milkshakes and teas. The bar has a cool, laid-back atmosphere ideal for a break from sightseeing or the start of a night out in Las Letras.
