Explore and live in the oldest part of Madrid in Los Austrias!
The Plaza Mayor’s northern wall stretches along Calle Mayor, the street that connects Puerta del Sol west towards Calle Bailén and, consequently, the Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral and Puente de Segovia. Walking along this area you’ll discover the Old City, also known as “Hapsburg Madrid,” “Madrid de los Austrias”.
The area is one of Madrid’s most vibrant neighborhoods and the most typical Madrid attractions are concentrated around the Plaza Mayor in the “Austrias” neighborhood. You can discover Madrid food at classic restaurants and bars, see flamenco at any number of nearby venues, or get a glass of sherry on the ever more hip Cava Baja street where locales old and new bustle all nights of the week. The famous San Miguel Market is also located in this part of the city, as well as the Royal Palace and Teatro Real. Los Austrias is a great neighborhood to amble along old winding streets and lose yourself in historic Madrid.
Los Austrias is good if you:
- want to live in an exclusive part of the city
- want to live in the city centre
- have a higher budget for living accommodation
- are interested in culture and history
