But the big draw is the city’s lively old quarter, the so-called Casco Antiguo, with an unparalleled selection of excellent tapas bars, for which it’s worth making a considerable detour. The two main annual events – each fuelled by copious wine-drinking – are the Fiestas San Bernabé (June), a week’s worth of enjoyably rowdy local festivities, from street fairs and pelota tournaments to folk concerts and costumed processions, and the even more exuberant Fiesta de San Mateo (September), which coincides with the annual vendimia (grape harvest).
