Public Transport information

As a complement to this general info, we really recommend you not to miss the Malasaña area, with second-hand shops, and many places to eat tapas and drink vermús, wines, and beers. Walk through the streets of Espítitu Santo, Corredera Baja de San Pablo, Velarde, Valverde, Colón, Sta. Bárbara, etc, to fully live the ‘indiest’ Madrid spirit.
