"La Faeneta es nuestra cafetería de confianza. Vamos todos los días a almorzar en nuestra hora de descanso y, ocasionalmente, hemos ido a comer. La atención de los camareros es excelente y siempre hay muy buen rollo, sobretodo con Eva. Si vas a comer te recomiendo las patatas con salsa gorgonzola y las hamburguesas, que están deliciosas y además... Tienen terraza!"
