Atocha Street

Today, I invite you to walk along one of Madrid’s most interesting streets. It is a curious place, typical, cliché, eclectic, modern, tacky…and so on. Sometimes, Atocha can be referred to as “The Street”, but to say Atocha is enough.

I love this street. I recommend to start walking from its lower part, Glorieta de Carlos V and to finish in Allende, by the Plaza Mayor, place where you can find the sanctuary that gives it its name. Walk slowly and don’t miss any of the things that you can find in one of the living arteries of the most typical and centric Madrid, where everything either starts or finishes.
