🇪🇸 Where to live in Madrid

Madrid's residential character shifts sharply within a few metro stops. The northern and eastern districts lean stately and quiet, with Salamanca given over to boutiques and Retiro sitting against the park, while the central quarters of Malasaña, Chueca and La Latina are built around bars, markets and street life. Further out, Chamartín is business and rail infrastructure, and Usera and Lavapiés are the most mixed and multicultural parts of the city.
