Café in old school An excellently positioned little café in a former school building, provided us with welcome sustenance as we were beginning to wonder where we'd find to get a bite to eat. Once inside, it is obvious that this used to be a school, but I don't know how long ago it ceased to be one. The hill rising up behind is Seabhal.
