Iconic Spanish Cafe Under Threat

Description:Ninety-five year old artist and writer Antonio Granados Valdez has been coming to Madrid's famous Cafe Gijon since he was student. He visits everyday, and sits at the same table. But he might soon be forced to end his routine. The lease of the restaurant's popular terrace has expired and Madrid City Hall has put it on offer to the highest bidder. Cafe Gijon has been home to Spain's intellectuals and artists for 124 years, but staff fear without the terrace the cafe could close. (1:43)
