Overview
Known as the 'Literary Quarter,' this neighborhood was home to the giants of Spanish literature. It is characterized by narrow, largely pedestrianized streets paved with golden quotes. It feels more intimate and 'village-like' than Sol, despite being right next to it. It’s a favorite for its jazz clubs and independent tapas bars, though its central location makes it a magnet for weekend tourists.
