Rent 2 bedroom apartment of 45 m² in Madrid

The Malasaña neighborhood forms an irregular square flanked by the Gran Vía to the south, Calle Fuencarral to the east, Calle Carranza to the north and, finally, Calle San Bernardo to the west.It owes its name to Manuela Malasaña, a Madrid heroine of the May 2, 1808 uprisings against French troops. This historical fact is of great importance in the neighborhood since its nerve center, the Plaza del Dos de Mayo, is located on the site of the old Monteleón Artillery Park where there was a focus of uprising under the command of Luís Daoíz and Pedro Velarde. In the current square an arch of the old barracks and the monument in honor of these two captains are preserved.Malasaña is closely linked to the Movida, the cultural and social revolution that emerged in Madrid during the 1980s and that had its epicenter in this Madrid neighborhood.
