Stroll Calle de la Princesa, the broad tree-lined avenue running out of Plaza de España. Browse the shops and cafés along the way, and pause at the Palacio de Liria on your route toward Moncloa.

📖

Full description

Calle de la Princesa is a long, busy avenue leading northwest from Plaza de España through the Moncloa-Aravaca district. It works first as a practical city street, lined with plane trees, shops, hotels and cafés, and carries steady traffic and foot traffic throughout the day.

Its main landmark is the Palacio de Liria, the Alba family's town palace, set back from the avenue. Visitors describe it as large and lively rather than quiet, and attractive despite the crowds.

It suits a short stroll linking nearby central areas more than a destination in itself.
