Palos de la Frontera

A gateway between the center and the south.

Overview

This neighborhood serves as the bridge between the Retiro district and Arganzuela. It is dominated by its proximity to the Atocha train station. It feels more urban and 'business-like' than the riverside barrios. The tradeoff is that it can feel a bit more transient and less 'neighborly' than a place like Acacias due to the constant flow of travelers.
