There is a place where Buenos Aires breathes when crises drown us and the head of the Interior Ministry knows it

There is a place in Madrid that always sounds for its good atmosphere and the joy that is breathed in it, and perhaps that is why Grande Marlaska chose it on Tuesday for dinner while Catalonia burned. The acting Interior Minister is a regular customer of Válgame Dios, located in the Chueca neighborhood, and was picked up while the noisy Defense Committees of the Republic (CDR) occupied the streets a couple of communities on port.

The rest of the non-VIP customers who contemplate the curious visits are always very surprised. Not less than the presence of the rest of celebrities who follow each other in Válgame Dios, restaurant, cocktail bar and clothing store of large firms on the ground floor, whose owner, Beatriz Álvarez, has organized it in such a way that it has become in reference to spend a good day, because they serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and rehearsals, in addition to hosting gatherings (of very diverse nature) until dawn.
