No city on earth is more alive than Madrid, a beguiling
place whose sheer energy carries a simple message: this city
knows how to live.
It’s true Madrid doesn’t have the immediate cachet of
Paris, the monumental history of Rome or the reputation
for cool of that other city up the road. But it’s a city in which
contradictory impulses are legion, the perfect expression of
Europe’s most passionate country writ large.
This city has transformed itself into Spain’s premier style
centre and its calling cards are many: astonishing art gal-
leries; relentless nightlife; an exceptional live-music scene;
a feast of fine restaurants and tapas bars; and a population
that’s mastered the art of the good life. It’s not that other
cities don’t have these things: it’s just that Madrid has all of
them in bucketloads.

The Spanish capital’s contribution to world architectural
textbooks is known as
barroco madrileño
(Madrid ba-
roque). Its creation is largely attributed to Juan de Herrera
(1530–97), perhaps the greatest figure of the Spanish Renais-
sance, who fused the sternness of the Renaissance style with
a muted approach to its successor, the more voluptuous, or-
namental baroque. Prime examples in Madrid include the
Plaza Mayor, the former
ayuntamiento
(town hall) on Plaza
de la Villa and the Convento de la Encarnación.
Madrid Baroque
DON’T MISS
La Latina, southwest
of Plaza Mayor, is one
of Spain’s best tapas
neighbourhoods. Start
along Calle de la Cava
Baja, and finish with
a mojito on Plaza de
la Paja.

MADRID’S BARRIOS IN A NUTSHELL
Los Austrias, Sol
and
Centro
form Madrid’s oldest
quarter, home to some of the city’s grandest monu-
ments, as well as bars, restaurants and hotels. Next
door, the
La Latina
and
Lavapiés
neighbourhoods are
the preserve of narrow medieval streets, great bars for
tapas and drinking, and restaurants. Away to the east,
the
Huertas
and
Atocha
area is one of Madrid’s nightlife
capitals and home to the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
Down the hill and a world away, the
Paseo del Prado
and
El Retiro
area is downtown Madrid’s greenest
corner, with world-class art galleries along the Paseo’s
shores and the Parque del Buen Retiro up the hill to the
east.
Salamanca
is upmarket and Madrid’s home of old
money, not to mention the city’s home of designer shop-
ping; while
Malasaña
and
Chueca
are two inner-city
barrios
with eclectic nightlife, shopping and outstanding
eating options: the latter is the heartbeat of Madrid’s gay
community.
To the north,
Chamberí
and
Argüelles
are residential
barrios
with a glimpse of Madrid away from the tourist
crowds, while
Northern Madrid
has high-class restau-
rants and is the home of Real Madrid football club.
