   I'm Pretty sure that CLAVE also means nail or pin and that when you 
   visit a money access machine in a spanish speaking country they ask 
   you to enter your "Clave."
   
"Clave" literally means "key".  An ATM "PIN" is a "Personal
Identification Number", not a pin, so "nail" is off the mark.

But, since the cafe had a rumba band outside and a picture of conga
drum on the sign, I figured I could assume that they meant the musical
clave.  The two meanings are related - the clave is the simple rhythm
that is the key to the whole thing.  Like a key-stone, it keeps the
rest from falling apart.
