It’s a very stylish district which houses many of the city’s top sights. BARRIO DE LAS LETRAS Home to great writers of the Golden Age of Spanish literature such as Cervantes and Quevado, the Barrio de las Letras also boasts the most important museums in Madrid. C/ Huertas is the main artery of the neighbourhood, and there you can find tapas bars and places to have a great time whenever the weekend brings people together, especially thirty-somethings who are out for a beer with friends. Plaza de Santa Ana, with its roomy terraces, is one of the area's big attractions for tourists. The Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums are the three vertices of this triangle located in the middle of the Paseo de Prado in the Barrio de las Letras CASTELLANA Financial central axis, with a historical aveunue (paseo de las Castellana) you can find one of the main stadiums of the city Santiago Bernabeu, the Real Madrid Stadium. LA LATINA La Latina is Madrid's quintessential neighborhood for beer on tap, tapas, mojitos and terraces, much to the chagrin of some who live nearby. At weekends it's nearly impossible to find a spot to squeeze into the jam-packed bars and restaurants to get lunch or dinner, although on workdays it's a regular, everyday part of the city, with locals shopping at the Mercado de la Cebada and kids playing in any of the numerous squares. Don't miss having a look at the beautiful churches and basilicas hidden in the narrow streets. La Latina is synonymous with going out for beers in Madrid. Weekends mean trying to get an elbow in to order at a bar, and booking in advance or arriving early for a table in a restaurant La Latina is one of the oldest and most traditional areas in the Spanish capital. The proof is in the city walls, the tiniest to largest churches that seem to spring up out of nowhere along the streets, and even the Segovia viaduct and the Puerta de Toledo that mark the district limits. CHUECA Chueca has become the gay district of Madrid in recent decades. From shops, bars, and even travel agencies, the majority of businesses are focused on the gay community which co-exists with older people who have lived in the neighbourhood since they were kids. Their Gay Pride parties, which are held in late June or early July, are famous worldwide. SOL- GRAN VIA The Gran Vía is Madrid’s most famous street that connects Calle de Alcalá and Plaza de España. In the past, the avenue used to be called “Avenida de Rusia” because of Russia’s support of the Spanish Republic or “Avenida del quince y medio”. During Franco’s dictatorship, Gran Vía was renamed “Avenida de José Antonio”, after the founder of the fascist party. The project of the Gran Vía avenue took several decades to complete. The first blueprints of the street date back to 1862, when part of the city center was renovated. However, the final project was not presented until 1899 by the architects José López Salaberry and Francisco Octavio Palacios and the boulevard was finally completed in 1929. The plaza was built in different stages. During the fifteenth century, La Puerta del Sol was originally one of the gates of the city wall and three centuries later, mid-eighteenth century, the Casa de Correos was established. Finally, between 1857 and 1862, the architects Lucio del Valle, Juan Rivera and José Morer gave it its definite form. During the twentieth century, the fountain was placed in the center of the square and part of it was made pedestrian. MALASAÑA From the center of La Movida Madrileña to the trendiest district in town, Malasaña has been through quite a lot of changes in the last few decades. Today modern restaurants and second-hand shops live alongside traditional bars and markets people have been going to for ages. It's also one of the most popular nightlife areas in the city. f it’s in style, you’ll find it in Malasaña. It used to be a district where the grannies and granddads met in the street and gossiped about their neighbours. Then the hipsters showed up, and rents increased, bikes took over and bakeries started charging double for muffins. LAVAPIES This barrio represents the fusion of peoples and cultures that Madrid has experimented with in recent years. Indian restaurants stand alongside typical Madrid taverns, and immigrants make up the social fibre that holds Lavapiés together. The August parties celebrating San Lorenzo are well-known throughout the city and beyond, and Tapapiés, an international tapas route that takes place in autumn, is also now a must-attend event. RETIRO El Retiro Park has become Madrid’s most renowned park since it was open to the public in 1868. The park’s official name is Parque del Buen Retiro (Buen Retiro Park). El Retiro is packed with things to see like monuments, galleries, statues, lakes and magnificent buildings. There are also numerous activities on every day, from yoga, roller-blading, puppet shows, musicians, fortune tellers and stands with food and different objects for sale. BARRIO SALAMANCA The Golden Mile were all luxury stores can be found, restaurants with Michelin stars and the most exclusive night live. .

It was declared Historic-Artistic Monument of national interest in 1926. Formed by a unique nave, it has open chapels with arches to allow the practice of simultaneous rites. The temple, completed in 1495, has an Elizabethan style, made with one nave with alcove chapels between the buttress and with chorus raised at the feet. The cloister, considered one of the Spanish jewels of the Gothic period, is the most antique of the two it had and it suffered many restorations. It has two floors and has a squared floor.

  • 1 ITINERARIES in the CITY the Map of Madrid Shows Three Distinct
    1 ITINERARIES IN THE CITY The map of Madrid shows three distinct areas in the center of the city. In the old part, the streets are narrow and winding and building construction is dense. Farther out, the streets become wider and straighter and finally, the outskirts are characterized by a boom of new construction during the 20th century. There are two main arteries in the city: the Gran Vía and the Paseo de la Castellana. The Gran Vía, commenced at the beginning of the century, is the site of numerous cinemas and places of amusement. The more modern Paseo de la Castellana is the headquarters of many of the large banks, as well as luxury office buildings and business complexes. 1. From Medieval Madrid to Madrid of the Austrias 1: Plaza Mayor 2: Casa de la Panadería 3: Casa de la Carnicería 4: Palacio de Santa Cruz 5: Mercado se San Miguel 6: Plaza de la Villa 7: Casa de Cisneros 8: Torre de los Lujanes 9: Convento de las Carboneras 10: Basílica de San Miquel 11: Palacio Arzobispal 12: Iglesia de San Pablo el Viejo 13: Capilla del Obispo 14: Capilla de San Isidro 15: San Andrés 16: Arco de Cuchilleros We start our tour at the Plaza Mayor (Main Square), which takes its name at the start of the 16th century. Juan de Herrera was commissioned to remodel the old square of Arrabal, but construction wasn't begun until 1617 under the direction of Juan Gómez de Mora by order of Felipe III. Inaugurated in 1620, this large rectangular, stonepaved plaza with its ground floor arcades, underwent its last remodeling in 1853 by Juan de Villanueva.

  • Madrid’S Best Ice Cream Shops!
    Madrid’s Best Ice Cream Shops! Summer, sun, heat, walks… When I think of all these things, only one thing comes to mind—ice cream! Madrileños love ice cream. In the same way that in winter we never say no to a good hot chocolate with churros, during the summer, it’s all about ice cream. Granizados and horchata are also big winners. Virtually all cafes and bakeries in Madrid offer a wide range of ice cream flavors and other refreshing treats. But finding the highest quality homemade ice cream isn’t so easy. That’s why we’ve brought you this list of our favorite ice cream shops, which are conveniently located in different neighborhoods across the city so you’ll have easy access whenever you get a craving! Here a few key words when ordering ice cream in Spanish: Ice cream: helado Flavor: sabor Scoop: bola Cone: cucurucho Cup: tarrina Now, here’s the inside scoop on our favorite ice cream shops in Madrid: 1. Mistura Owned by young entrepreneurs who were inspired by a different way of making ice cream in India, Mistura serves up handcrafted ice cream in the heart of Madrid with a smile, using local and healthy ingredients. The first time I went there I was smitten. The guys who work there are really nice and they personalize your ice cream. Right in front of you, they mix the different flavors and toppings of your choice on a cold slab of granite (apparently to enhance its texture). I ordered maracuyá. Not to mention they’ve expanded their coffee and breakfast list.

Una brecha urbana entre la tradición y la modernidad EL MADRID DEL SIGLO XIX QUE ALUMBRARÁ LA GRAN VÍA Como es bien sabido y nos indica la planimetría, el trazado de Madrid hacia mediados de siglo era predominantemente radioconcéntrico, con una serie de vías principales que enlazaban de forma directa o indirecta la Puerta del Sol, centro indiscutible de la villa casi inmediato a la Plaza Mayor, con las diversas puertas de entrada a la ciudad: Alcalá, Carrera de San Jerónimo, Mayor-Almudena y Arenal, todas con su desembocadura en la misma Sol; o Atocha, que lo hacía por Carretas, y Fuencarral y Hortaleza por Montera. En cuanto a San Bernardo y San Bernardino y Segovia y Toledo, llegaban a Sol mediante accesos algo más intrincados debido sobre todo a las marcadas diferencias de nivel entre unos y otros sectores urbanos. Tal conjunto, del que antes de 1836 una parte considerable pertenecía a la Iglesia como propietaria de 65 conventos y multitud de fincas urbanas, todo ello intocable y exento de cualquier tipo de contribución económica, quedaba abrazado por las rondas y el eje Paseo del Prado-Recoletos.

  • Madrid Information (The Bulk of Information Contained on This Page Has Been Plagiarized from the Internet
    Madrid Information (The bulk of information contained on this page has been plagiarized from the internet. My thanks to Wikipedia, Lonely Planet and other websites for their contribution) Madrid is the capital of Spain, with a population of almost 3.2 million. It is the third-largest city in the European Union, after London and Berlin. The city is located on the Manzanares in the centre of both the country and is bordered by the autonomous communities of Castile and León and Castile-La Mancha. As the capital city of Spain, seat of government, and residence of the Spanish monarch, Madrid is also the political, economic and cultural centre of Spain. While Madrid possesses a modern infrastructure, it has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighbourhoods and streets. Its landmarks include the Royal Palace of Madrid; the Royal Theatre with its restored 1850 Opera House; the Buen Retiro Park, founded in 1631; the 19th-century National Library building (founded in 1712) containing some of Spain's historical archives; a large number of national museums, and the Golden Triangle of Art, located along the Paseo del Prado and comprising three art museums: Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía Museum (a museum of modern art), and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. The Cibeles Palace and Fountain have become one of the monument symbols of the city. Most of the tourist attractions of Madrid are in the old town and the Ensanche, corresponding with the districts of Centro, Salamanca, Chamberí, Retiro and Arganzuela. The nerve centre of the city is the Puerta del Sol, starting point for the numbering of all city streets and all the country's highways.
