Overview
Almagro is the most exclusive pocket of Chamberí, often called the 'Golden Triangle.' Its streets are lined with grand 19th-century palaces, embassies, and luxury galleries. It offers a level of prestige and quiet similar to Salamanca but with a more discreet, residential atmosphere. The trade-off is that it can feel a bit formal and offers privacy rather than the 'barrio' bustle found in nearby Trafalgar.
Best for
- Executives and diplomats
- Privacy seekers
- Families wanting central quiet
Less suited to
- Students
- Those seeking a gritty or bohemian vibe
- Budget-conscious renters
