Neighbourhood
Lavapies is the most bohemian neighbourhood in Madrid represented by over 80 different nationalities, offering a seemingly unlimited variety of restaurants and tapas bars, art exhibitions and music, all in one intimate, village-like environment.
Thanks to the new trend towards chic bars and diverse restaurants. It’s often called the Triangle of Art, known for its three famous art centers, La Casa Encendida, La Tabacalera and, of course, the famous Museo Reina Sofía, which sits on the edge of the neighborhood.
In any case, head down to Lavapiés to explore the diverse transition. Expect to see all kinds of people and all kinds of places: a 100-year old Spanish tanner shop next to a dimly-lit Mexican mezcalería, an Argentianian empanada takeaway spot next to a Dominican hairdresser, and Cine Doré, a beloved historical cinema, next to a typical Spanish wine bar, packed full of millennials alongside families alongside seniors. Make sure to stop in at the Mercado de Antón Martín, which has managed to retain some of its original Spanish essence while still making room for trendy new market stalls and restaurants such as Buns & Bones, famous for their Asian bao. Lavapiés is definitely up-and-coming, but still retains that edgy, anti-glamour attitude.
Getting to my home
The flat is 100 meters from metro station Lavapies, which serves line 3, or Embajadores, which serves lines 3 and 5. Other stations in the barrio include Antón Martín and Tirso de Molina both on line 1. The Lavapiés neighbourhood is located almost directly south of central Madrid, and it is only about a 10-minute walk from the Puerta del Sol or Plaza Mayor before you can find yourself in this dynamic neighbourhood.
Nearest airport
Barajas Airport
Getting around
It might be easier to get to Lavapiés via metro or bus. The neighbourhood is served by a few metro stations that you can easily alight at and get wherever you want to visit. There are numerous buses that serve areas all throughout the barrio if you’re not fond of using the metro or there are some technical difficulties with the line you want to travel on.
If you want to save money while in Madrid, especially if you’re located centrally, you can forgo public transportation entirely and just head to Lavapiés on foot. As I stated earlier, it is very much not far from central Madrid and is easy to get there.
