The Ibiza neighborhood in Madrid’s Retiro district is a residential area offering all the convenience of having everything within easy reach. Above all, it is a pleasant place to live, in a privileged location very close to the commercial area of Goya, Plaza de Felipe II, Puerta de Alcalá, and the Prado Museum.
The neighborhood combines residential buildings with attractive green areas, foremost among them El Retiro Park (a green lung with recreational spaces), just a few meters from this apartment. It also has a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, schools, sports facilities, and healthcare centers, including Gregorio Marañón University Hospital. This makes the area one of the liveliest in the capital.
Buen Retiro Park is the true centerpiece of this Madrid neighborhood, bordered by Alcalá and O’Donnell Streets to the north, Doctor Esquerdo Street to the east, Avenida del Mediterráneo and Paseo de Reina Cristina to the south, and Alfonso XII Street to the west.
The park’s origins date back to the time of Ferdinand and Isabella, at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th centuries. However, the neighborhood itself was developed much later, toward the end of the 19th century, when the city’s population growth led to successive expansions. Transport links are excellent, with both metro lines and buses. It is one of the best-connected areas of Madrid, with several metro stations, including Ibiza, Retiro, and Sainz de Baranda, as well as direct access to the M-30.
