Guide to Malasaña

<p>Graffiti-spattered yet elegant Malasaña is filled with achingly cool boutique shops and hidden treasures. Once seedy and even a little dangerous, it's been transformed for better and worse in the past few years by gentrification, making it a safer, yet increasingly chichi destination. </p><p>While its heart is in Plaza Dos de Mayo, the great thing about Malasaña is that it sprawls across a wide area, so you can explore side streets to your heart's content. However, this can mean that navigation feels overwhelming, which is why I've created this episode to help guide you around the area.</p><p><br /></p><p>Visit my website and subscribe for a FREE copy of Madrid Beyond the Guidebook</p><p><a href="https://shr.pn/tiNH" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠https://shr.pn/tiNH⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p>To support the Making of Madrid, consider buying a copy of <a href="https://www.themakingofmadrid.com/products/quiet-madrid-tranquil-spaces-in-hidden-places/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Quiet Madrid⁠⁠</a>⁠, my guide to the city's tranquil spaces in hidden places. </p><p>You can also<a href="https://www.themakingofmadrid.com/tip-jar/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠ leave a tip⁠</a> to show your support.</p><p>Or you could buy one of my ⁠<a href="https://www.themakingofmadrid.com/audio-tours-with-voicemap/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠audio tours on Voicemap⁠⁠</a>⁠. </p><p>Sign up for my <a href="https://www.themakingofmadrid.com/madrid-beyond-the-guide-book/⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠newsletter to get a free copy of Madrid Beyond the Guidebook⁠⁠</a></p><p>(visit themakingofmadrid.com if you can't use these links)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>
