Go to any historic bar in central Madrid and chances are Don Ernesto will have enjoyed an alcoholic beverage there. But Ernest Hemingway's love affair with the city went beyond watering holes - though obviously he loved a drink or ten!

In this episode I speak with journalist Stephen Phelan about the writers' strong connection to Spain's capital. Stephen gives tours on Hemingway's Madrid so is a great person to give the inside scoop on this subject and the interview covers a lot of ground from the Civil War to Eva Gardner to bullfighting. If you want to know more you can always hire Stephen in person after listening!

These tours are run through Fernwayer. Visit the website to download their app.
