Plaza de Santa Ana

Talking about genius, in the back of the square you can view the statue of Calderón de la Barca, and just behind there is the Victoria Hotel, of art deco style.

It has something special because it is an area with a lot of people, both during the day with the terraces as at night with the pubs and bars.

The place is full of bars, taverns and tapas bars. You can choose from any of them, they are all amazing, especially when
