Calle Huertas, only a 5 minutes walk from Sol, gives it?s name to an old traditional neighbourhood with numerous bars and other little establishments serving tapas in the evenings. It also one of the main centers for nightlife and has a number of restaurants. This area is located between Paseo del Prado and Calle Atocha. There are innumerable places to stay here, ranging from cheap pensiones to luxury hotels. It?s a popular area for foreigners to go out, but also for the "not so young locals" (between 25 and 35) who may feel a bit old for Malasaña. There are also many theaters and it?s quite common to retire to the bars nearby after performances. Plaza de Santa Ana is a common meeting point in the area since many bars there have made seating available outdoors - the square itself is also quite attractive. Bars here are small and are a bit crowded, but they?re usually good fun. There are a couple of places are quite famous for their jazz concerts in this area. The traditional wine and tapas stops are well worth a visit
