Spanish for the café with a baby
Sorting out space for the stroller
Cafés with a baby come with their own vocabulary: the high chair, somewhere for the pram, could you warm this bottle. Ask in Spanish and you'll usually get a smile along with the sillita, because staff meet very few foreign parents who try.
