Dylan: the café

Ducking down an alleyway in central Granada yesterday, I stumbled across an attractive café called, simply, Dylan. Its windows were adorned by a large, iconic hand-crafted portrait of a mid-‘60s Bob, sporting the familiar big hair – not unlike the portrait on The Dylan Daily.

I would have entered the shrine for a spot of worship, but was deterred by the inappropriate piped music, and by the café’s slogan, ‘Coffee and Cigarettes’ – repellent to unwilling inhalers of used tobacco smoke, those of us who feel compelled to bathe and wash our clothes as soon as we get home, just to get rid of the stink.

The Dylan café, in Plaza de la Romanilla, a handsome small square near the centre of the Andalusian city, is the first Dylan-themed enterprise I’ve seen in Europe.

If you know of any more, please send details for publication on The Dylan Daily.
