I am a firm fan of the hidden terrace, the rear garden, the interior courtyard. I have a mental list of places to eat, drink, and meet up with people in Spain, and more widely in Europe, that are off the sidewalk. Call me old fashioned, or sensitive, or too American, but there is zero charm in eating next to a street while passersby brush past my table. I'll leave that for the terminally seen-and-be-seen social butterflies.
