This area is very histórical, and it has many tapas bars and night bars. It is the quartier before the skirting of the castle. iIf you feel romantic, around the corner from the Cathedral you can have a drink in a beautiful place, Hotel Boutique Palacete XVII, they have a tiny cafe/bar under the stone stair case.
