Madrid cafe w/ Franco ero memorabilia
I came across a video about Spain on You Tube that featured the proprietor of a cafe in Madrid, called Casa Pepe, which was filled with artifacts and assorted memorabilia from the time when Spain was under Franco's dictatorship. Simply from a historical perspective, I think it would be interesting to visit but I can't find any information online. Is anyone familiar with this particular cafe?

There's a 2008 YouTube video about it, showing interiors, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TgIq...eature=related - gave me chills of the brutal dictatorship.
There's also a 2009 YouTube video about how its lower floors were flooded and totally destroyed. Apparently it's been repaired and reopened according to a CUATRO TV interview of the place, also on YouTube, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJEp7AF2v4&NR=1 .
Saludos, MadridMan at.. ummm... yeah, YOU know where.

MadridMan,
Thanks for the links. I think it was a video on the Valley of the Fallen that mentioned this cafe. I Googled "Casa Pepe" and couldn't really find anything specific but it never occurred to me to search for "Casa Pepe" in You Tube itself. Duh!
