Which is your neighborhood?

At first thought we see Madrid as a cosmopolitan city but in truth it is not. Madrid is a well-defined ensemble of connected districts, each with its very characteristic peculiarities, styles and neighbours. We belong there, we live our life there and something very strong is needed to make us get out and get lost among other tribes.

Malasaña or Chueca are trendsetting quarters, alternative, vindictive, vital, bustling and always lively. It is the meeting point of young and not so young on weekdays and on weekends you almost have to ask permission to be able to enjoy its many entertainment venues, shops, galleries and markets. Chueca is the reference area of the homosexual community. If you live here you could not live anywhere else.

Latina is the quarter of “Palace”, including the so-called “Madrid of the Austrias”. Among its medieval streets and spacious squares you always find stately buildings and widely recognized architectural pieces that will make you remember historical events moments of the city. And besides its historic flavour you will always find a good “tapas” bar as well.

Lavapiés is a multicultural, vital, genuine and diverse quarter in continuous conversion. It is a very good place to taste Asian, African and Arabic cuisine. In some respects, when you walk through the streets you return to the past.

Salamanca is the quintessential stately quarter, quiet, elegant, classic, residential and restful. Well planned, with wide streets, elegant houses and close to the “Parque del Retiro”, it is one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods of Madrid. Among the large number of shops all the very best brands can be found in the “Golden Mile”.

Moncloa and Chamberí are traditional and quiet districts, with lifelong neighbours and a large number of university students that spend some time of their lives in the Moncloa Quarter. Chamberí is somewhat more stately and residential.

So, which is your neighbourhood?
