Centro : ubicació i entorn d'aquesta propietat

The Barrio de las Letras is named in honor of the great literary figures who inhabited its streets in the Spanish Siglo de Oro (Golden Age). Cervantes, Quevedo or Lope de Vega walked through this area located between Paseo del Prado and Plaza de Santa Ana, one of the most popular in Madrid for the charm of its pedestrian streets, stores and restaurants that make it especially lively and with a very extensive cultural and gastronomic offer. The geographical location of the neighborhood, as well as its architecture and history make it one of the most sought after areas of the capital for its charm and proximity to the center, as well as the most important museums in Madrid. From the Plaza de Santa Ana, famous for its terraces and bars, streets like Huertas, whose cobblestones are engraved with quotes from great writers of the golden age of Castilian literature, run all the way to the Paseo del Prado. Precisely on Lope de Vega Street, in the church of San Ildefonso (convent of the Trinitarias Descalzas), a commemorative plaque reminds us that the remains of the author Miguel de Cervantes rest in an undetermined place in the building. Not far from there we find the house-museum of the playwright Lope de Vega -on Cervantes Street-, who is also buried in the neighborhood, in the church of San Sebastián (Atocha Street).
