Best for the Madrid's hipster and Bohemian community. Tons of lovely cafes, hard and theaters. 3 lovely plazas to have breakfast a drink or a coffee: Plaza de la luna, Plaza tal 2 de Mayo, and Plaza de Juan Pujol

Malasaña is associated with a creative and counter-cultural scene. Great places to eat or have a coffee!

Malasaña lives in perpetual rebellion. The most avant-garde barrio in Madrid, it’s home to candy-colored buildings and technicolor street art, all drenched in Spanish sunshine. Waking from a late slumber, the neighborhood gently crescendos into joyful chaos, first signaled by the clink of tattooed baristas pouring the trendiest café con leches in the city.

These women have always lived here, through the reincarnations of the barrio named for Manuela Malasaña, a 15-year-old girl who defended her honor to the death, with pluck and a pair of scissors, against occupying Napoleonic forces. The young icon imbued her eponymous neighborhood with an edge that’s only ripened over time. Malasaña’s riotous streets gave way to La Movida Madrileña, the 80s countercultural movement that tumbled out of the country’s transition to democracy. The same streets now sometimes garner eye rolls from locals, who may balk at its hipster revolution but lay claim to Malasaña’s enviable bars and boutiques nonetheless.
