Overview
Tetuán is a vibrant, multicultural district north of central Madrid. Mornings and evenings are filled with local markets, cafés, and a mix of traditional shops and new developments. Life here is practical and affordable compared to central districts, with an authentic urban feel and evolving cultural scene. The tradeoff is that some streets feel less polished and green spaces are limited (except for the northwest of the district), but residents enjoy diversity, convenience, and good transport connections.
