Malasaña
"This rapidly gentrifying neighborhood is where La Movida Madrileña, an underground cultural and artistic movement, emerged after the death of fascist dictator Franco in 1975. Since then, Malasaña has been the gathering sport of alternative artists of all kinds and attracts many expats and tourists. The center of this ever-hip and bohemian neighborhood is the Plaza Dos de Mayo, but there are other small squares like Las Comendadoras or San Ildefonso, around where there are bars and cafes worth checking out. If you’re here after dinner, venture over to Kike Keller, an art and design store which turns into a swanky cocktail bar during the weekends. If you like any of the exhibited work, you can choose to purchase it." - MATADOR_NETWORK
