Just south of the sprawling campus of the Complutense
University of Madrid, Arguelles exudes a fast-paced,
collegiate vibe. The main street, Calle Princesa, is
filled with twenty-somethings rushing between classes
and errands, meeting up with classmates, and grabbing
cheap beers and cheap eats. This is a prime shopping
spot where the major Spanish clothing and department
store chains are less busy than their downtown
...More
counterparts, and there is an array of casual dining
options to choose from. Check out nearby outdoor
spaces such as the lushly planted Plaza de España to
the south, which is often filled with craft stalls. To
the west of Arguelles is the giant Parque Oueste, a
calm and picturesque park with its own Egyptian
temple.
