Charming one-bedroom penthouse in Justicia

Centro: Location and surroundings of this property

Chueca is an area of the Justicia neighbourhood, in the Centro district of the Spanish city of Madrid. It has no administrative entity. It takes its name from the Chueca square and metro, dedicated to the composer Federico Chueca, and is bordered to the north by Calle de Fernando VI, to the south by Gran Vía, to the east by Calle del Barquillo and to the west by Calle Hortaleza and Calle Fuencarral. At the end of the 20th century it became the neighbourhood of Madrid's homosexual community. In the 1980s, some of the first gay bars opened in the area. In the 1980s, some of the first LGBT-friendly bars in Madrid opened in the area (Café Figueroa, Black & White, Sachas or the Berkana bookshop) and it gradually went from being a marginal area to achieving the cosmopolitan and open character that has given the neighbourhood recognition as an internationally famous cultural attraction, without losing part of its original traditional air. The area is also home to the Plaza del Rey and the Plaza de Pedro Zerolo. One of Chueca's biggest annual tourist events is the Gay Pride celebrations, held every year in early summer.
