Food and drink by neighborhood in Madrid: Malasaña
If you are planning to learn Spanish in Spain, you need to know a few things about each neighborhood in Madrid.
MALASAÑA
We asked several of the La Aventura Española students their favorite food and drink spots in neighborhood Malasaña. Barrio Malasaña is a trendy, lively part of Madrid’s city centre. Malasaña district is situated North of Gran Via, on streets between Fuencarral, San Bernardo and del Pez which cluster around Malasaña’s most extensively social square, Plaza Dos de Mayo. The most central Metro is Tribunal (L1 & 10). These are the locations that our LAE Madrid students recommend!
