Juan Valdez Café neighbor at Casa San Agustin

Juan Valdez Café
Weaving among well-preserved historic houses and handsome cobbled plazas – recalling Havana more than once – I stopped for coffee at the Colombian equivalent of Starbucks. The mustachioed, white-hatted Juan Valdez is the fictional face of coffee marketing here, used in advertising campaigns since the 1950s. In recent years, coffee shops using his name have also sprung up, including this one near the old-town university campus. Joining the students, I sipped a smooth Nevado iced coffee, reflecting that temperatures outside were nudging a steamy 30 C. Calle de la Universidad and Calle San Agustin.
