Location

The neighborhood of Las Letras in Madrid is right in the center of the city, so if you are on a short getaway and have a few days for sightseeing, don't worry, because you will most likely end up walking through its streets. Here you will find some of the most emblematic buildings in Madrid, as the neighborhood is framed by some iconic museums: the Prado and Thyssen museums. The writers of the Spanish Golden Age are the protagonists of these streets, as they bear the names of renowned figures such as Cervantes, Moratín, or Lope de Vega. The area between Atocha Street and San Jerónimo Street could be considered the neighborhood of Las Letras. Home to great writers of the Spanish Golden Age literature like Cervantes and Quevedo, the Barrio de las Letras also hosts Madrid's most important museums. Huertas Street is its main artery, and Santa Ana Square is the most popular and tourist-friendly spot for outdoor dining. Moreover, in recent years, the streets have taken on a very distinctive transformation. Where low-cost stores once prevailed, now there are all kinds of chic shops (from clothing and accessories to home decoration), restaurants for all budgets (from one Michelin star to traditional grills and market cuisine), and taverns for every occasion. However, the night remains lively in this strategic hub in the center of Madrid.
