side streets around Plaza Santa Ana take on a foreign
party atmosphere at night, and you always see young
backpackers navigating the streets — but as you
descend into the neighborhood, everything becomes a
little more cramped and slightly less refined, and
takes on more of an underground feel. Live music is at
the heart of Huertas: by night, its subdued bars are
ideal for meeting friends, sipping cocktails, and
chatting quietly while enjoying jazz or
singer-songwriter performances.
