Calle Argumosa is one long stretch of terrazas in which to drink red wine and watch the world go by, and in the narrow side streets there are great little bars everywhere. La Candela is great for real flamenco and late drinks.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2060 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2048 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2048 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/909 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/909 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7236
