Overview

Sol is the literal center of the city and the country (Kilometer Zero). Life here is defined by constant movement, major retail flagship stores, and the city's best public transport connections. While incredibly convenient, the trade-off is that it feels more like a commercial hub than a 'neighborhood.' It is rarely quiet, and the population is highly mobile, with a mix of short-term residents and global citizens.

Best for

  • Short-term residents
  • People who love being in the middle of everything
  • Public transport commuters

Less suited to

  • Families
  • People seeking a sense of community
  • Anyone sensitive to crowds
"Living in Sol means living at the absolute crossroads of Madrid."
