In every neighborhood, you see pastel buildings and lively streets with Spanish people enjoying the day. When choosing a place to stay in Madrid, you\u2019ll look at the many pink and orange apartments and feel like they would all make great homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And while you can\u2019t really go wrong when choosing a Spanish home, this article will give you a detailed look at the best areas to consider for your Madrid search. These five neighborhoods are the best to stay in when in the city, whether for their convenient location or bustling entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. La Latina<\/b><\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.itinari.com\/pages\/images\/original\/2429d8d7-a5c3-4edb-ab59-d6e9e98b70ef-img_9462.jpg?ch=DPR&amp;w=1200&amp;s=64954cf2d8a9a517e53f961cef48dda1\" alt=\"Image result for la latina madrid\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo sourced from itaniari.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Home to Madrid\u2019s famous market, El Rastro, La Latina is the best place to be on a Sunday. This neighborhood is also a great place to get a feel for traditional Spanish culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">El Rastro, which means <strong>&#8220;flea market&#8221;<\/strong> in English, fills the streets of La Latina every Sunday with goods available for purchase and with people, both tourists and natives. Here you can find sunglasses, clothing, shoes, tapestries and more. El Rastro is a fun experience and it makes for something to look forward to every Sunday. The event only takes place on Sundays, from 9am to 3pm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">La Latina is the most southern neighborhood on our list, but it\u2019s actually located conveniently. It is only a short walk to Plaza Mayor, Sol, and Tirso de Molina; which are all popular squares to <strong>enjoy a drink<\/strong> or more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Film lovers are drawn to La Latina for the<strong> hip movie theater<\/strong> that is located just next to the metro stop, Tirso de Molina. This theater is definitely the coolest around, with much more to do than just watch a movie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The venue entrance features a long hall for smoking or waiting for a friend. Inside, there is a huge open room with lots of seating for people to gather around and watch silent screenings of fun films, like 101 Dalmatians, while chatting with friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here, you can order beer, wine, and any of the delicious items on their menu, which feature vegan and gluten free options. If you prefer a sophisticated cocktail to a glass of wine, you can head upstairs to the<strong> glamorous bar<\/strong> before the movie starts. But even if you don\u2019t get a ticket to the film, this place is cool enough just to hang around.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6>THE NAME OF THE VENUE IS SALA EQUIS (&#8220;HALL X&#8221; IN ENGLISH)<br \/>\nLOCATED AT CALLE DEL DUQUE DE ALBA, 4.<br \/>\nOPEN MONDAY TO THURSDAY FROM 5PM TO 1:30AM,\u00a0 FRIDAY TO SATURDAY FROM 12PM TO 2:30AM, SUNDAY FROM 10AM TO 1:30AM.<br \/>\nCONTACT: (+34) 91 429 66 86<\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">La Latina is also an excellent place to eat. The neighborhood that drives people to taste their traditional tapas, there is no shortage of delicious food here. A favorite of the locals is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ninapastabar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Nina\u2019s Pasta Bar<\/strong><\/a>, run by two Italians who know how to serve exquisite pasta for a nice dinner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6>Closed on Mondays<\/h6>\n<h6>Open from 10:30am to 12:00am Tuesday to Friday, from 11:00am to 12:00am on Saturday, and 11:00am to 4:00pm on Sunday<\/h6>\n<h6>They can be contacted at <a class=\"fl r-iS0uJU0TRedg\" title=\"Call via Hangouts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=ninas+pasta+bar&amp;oq=ninas+pasta+bar&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.2771j0j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8#\" data-number=\"+34911374660\" data-pstn-out-call-url=\"\" data-rtid=\"iS0uJU0TRedg\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiHgcKxh4jlAhUBaVAKHRkVCXEQkAgoADAbegQIDxAQ\">+34 911 37 46 60<\/a><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Mexican food lovers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sahuaromadrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sahuaro<\/strong><\/a> has a wide selection of great plates and drinks, it\u2019s well-priced, and has a nice outdoor seating environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6>Open from 1:00pm to 1:00 am Monday through Thursday, 1:00pm to 2:00am on Friday and Saturday, and from 11:00am to 1:00am on Sunday<\/h6>\n<h6>For questions or reservations, call <a class=\"fl r-iW3abOhtXiKs\" title=\"Call via Hangouts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?ei=eReaXZnNFJHbwQKEno6AAg&amp;q=sahuaro+madrid&amp;oq=sahuaro+madrid&amp;gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i22i30l7.2751.4120..4223...1.2..0.107.748.6j2......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j0i10j0i22i10i30j0i13j0i13i30j0i13i5i30j0i8i13i30.VKy40hDPzes&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjZ7byFiIjlAhWRbVAKHQSPAyAQ4dUDCAs&amp;uact=5#\" data-number=\"+34914296449\" data-pstn-out-call-url=\"\" data-rtid=\"iW3abOhtXiKs\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwi824yIiIjlAhVLIlAKHZH9BuAQkAgoADAeegQIDxAW\">+34 914 29 64 49<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3><b>2.

This area is home to many shops and restaurants, but it has even more character than that. Chueca is the gay district of Madrid, and this culture brings creativity and style to the neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being the home of the gay movement, Chueca also hosts<strong> LGTB pride<\/strong> festivals during the summer, when the district is decorated with pride flags and packed with celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The diversity of the neighborhood actually translates to the <strong>shopping<\/strong> that can be found there, as both foreign and local brand stores line the streets. If you find a place in Chueca, you may be staying near Brandy Melville, Carhartt, or Camper, just to name a few stores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Chueca, restaurants resemble the modern age of the district. Your favorite dinner spot in this neighborhood will most likely be small and upscale, with some sort of creative twist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For example,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lecocomadrid.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong> Le Coco<\/strong><\/a> is a quaint restaurant on Calle Barbieri that makes you feel like you&#8217;re eating a home cooked meal, while serving plates like steak tartar, octopus risotto, and homemade red velvet cake.<\/p>\n<h3><b>3.

The area is filled with other students and is situated right next to happening streets like Gran V\u00eda. There, you will find the three story Zara, among many other shops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re really into <strong>shopping<\/strong>, you\u2019ll want to walk down Calle de Fuencarral to take advantage of any of the stores that you didn\u2019t find on Gran V\u00eda. This street has shops like Adidas, Levi\u2019s, and Calvin Klein, just to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before Malasa\u00f1a was a shopping hub packed with young people, it was the center of a cultural revolution. La Movida Madrile\u00f1a was a Spanish movement that began in the 80\u2019s. It encouraged freedom of expression and gave rise to artistic pieces of all kinds, from<strong> graffiti<\/strong> to comics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This rich past is only one of the reasons that draw people to stay in Malasa\u00f1a. Apart from the historical sentiment of the neighborhood, many colorful qualities of the area remain today. This is a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">barrio <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">where one can spend hours without running out of things to do, as there is everything from nice <strong>coffee shops<\/strong> to <strong>edgy nightclubs<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Salamanca<\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.lucasfox.com\/location\/4x3_960w\/EA67F83FAF.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for salamanca madrid\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo sourced from lucasfox.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is the <strong>neighborhood for the elite<\/strong>, and it\u2019s not just a recent development. The development of Salamanca was the idea of Queen Isabella II, who wanted an exclusive area for people with political and financial status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, the history can be seen by the <strong>Michelin star restaurants<\/strong>, Golden Mile of <strong>high-end shopping<\/strong>, and many <strong>museums<\/strong> that define the neighborhood. Salamanca is a sophisticated area to stay in, for foodies and shopaholics alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are tempted to stay near excellent restaurants, Salamanca is a good choice for you. While you\u2019re there, stop by Hotel \u00danico and enjoy a meal at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramonfreixamadrid.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Ram\u00f3n Freixa Madrid<\/strong><\/a>, where you can order a duck burger with green mustard ice cream and bread. For dessert, order the Luisa of Chocolate, made of \u201cTrue love, True passion\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Salamanca might also be the place to stay for its traditional event, <strong>bull fighting<\/strong>. Las Ventas, Madrid\u2019s Plaza de Toros, or bullring, is the classic stadium of Spanish bullfighting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The events can be difficult to watch for those who are sensitive to the sport, but visiting the stadium is still a culturally rich experience if you want to be exposed to\u00a0 the traditions of Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6>Las Ventas is located at Calle de Alcal\u00e1, 237<\/h6>\n<h6>Contacted at <a class=\"fl r-ic8sFQF3dEKE\" title=\"Call via Hangouts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=las+ventas&amp;oq=las+ventas&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.1255j0j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8#\" data-number=\"+34913562200\" data-pstn-out-call-url=\"\" data-rtid=\"ic8sFQF3dEKE\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwj4zt39iIjlAhXBYlAKHRUEB2EQkAgoADAfegQIERAZ\">+34 913 56 22 00<\/a><\/h6>\n<p>For those who prefer<strong> enjoying nature<\/strong> more than sporting events, Salamanca also has a great spot for that. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esmadrid.com\/en\/tourist-information\/parque-del-retiro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Retiro Park<\/strong><\/a> is located just under the neighborhood, and it&#8217;s a place you could spend hours without wanting to leave.<\/p>\n<p>This huge screen space is one of the largest parks in Madrid, and it even has a lake for <strong>rowing boats<\/strong>.
