Hemingway's Madrid with Stephen Phelan

Hemingway's Madrid with Stephen Phelan7. Sept.47 Min.

<p>Go to any historic bar in central Madrid and chances are Don Ernesto will have enjoyed an alcoholic beverage there. But Ernest Hemingway&#39;s love affair with the city went beyond watering holes - though obviously he loved a drink or ten! </p><p>In this episode I speak with journalist Stephen Phelan about the writers&#39; strong connection to Spain&#39;s capital. Stephen gives tours on Hemingway&#39;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.
