Armchair travelling

In my quest to understand being human, I found a collection of "oldest" places to eventually visit - they must have the secret figure out if people still want your coffee after 300 years.


Since, 1725 Botin has been serving Madrid roast suckling pig. This place intersects with a separate list of watering holes of my favorite writers, in this case Ernest Hemingway.
                      Casa Botin Restauran, Madrid, Spain


There is a bookstore if you can believe it, that has been operating continuously since 1732 in Lisbon, Portugal. What secret have  they discovered to encourage customers to purchase more books than they fondle?


Not surprisingly there is a beer hall in Munich that has been in operation since 1582, the Hofbrauhaus. The ceilings alone look worth the visit.
