Chueca is the place to be if you love diversity, shopping, covered markets, good food and a nice atmosphere.
Want to enjoy delicious food in between shopping? Then this is the place to be. This originally truly working-class neighbourhood is located to the right of the Calle Fuencarral shopping street. In the neighbourhood, you'll enjoy the many bookshops, clothes shops and restaurants located here. Chueca has always had a distinct identity, so it will come as no surprise that Madrid's gay pride also takes place here every year. During this Orgullo Gay, you will find music and a well-dressed crowd in all the squares. There are also many quirky shops in this neighbourhood, where the fashionable owners will be happy to advise you.
