"On the outskirts of Cuenca a tiny DIY Springfield replica clusters a Hollywood-sign-style ‘Springfield’ installation and a towering facade of Springfield Elementary over two squat storefronts; in the bar, fans are greeted by a life-size Moe Szyslak cutout that even extends the phone Bart pranks, a to-scale Love Tester, walls covered in themed art, and barrels of Duff beer (available by can or on tap). The spot leans into playful, scrappy fandom: it’s designed for photos, affordable (just a few bucks for cans of Duff), and consciously evokes the dingy, antiestablishment vibe of the show’s earlier seasons rather than a sanitized theme-park version." - Tamlin Magee
